Find local plants with the Trees Near Me NSW app

The Trees Near me NSW App is a project of the NSW Department of Planning and Environment where existing and pre-cleared plant communities have been mapped, an amazing amount of information and a great way of recording our plant community types and the species that were, and still are, found in these plant communities.

The information in this App allows you to see what plants are growing in our native plant communities, such as State Forests, National Parks and areas of bushland that are still present in our communities throughout the State of NSW.

The App also has a function which shows what the plant communities looked like before areas were cleared, this gives you an insight into the types of plants that will thrive in any area you are interested in be it a large or a small area.

What will I find in this App?

Trees Near Me NSW app includes:

• Learning more about the vegetation near you and anywhere else in NSW. The vegetation map shown in the app is the NSW State Vegetation Type Map. Check this out…NSW State Vegetation Type Map | NSW Environment and Heritage
