GreenQode allows communities to create and print QR codes that link to information about the trees and plants in their community.
This information includes a description (fun facts, historical information, trivia, uses, and so on) and a list of locations in the community in which the plant can be found.
Once you create a GreenQode account, you enter information about the flora in your community - plus the number of QR codes you want to print for that plant or tree.
With a click of a button, you can then print a PDF with all your QR codes. The PDF has cutting lines and labels to ease the process for you.
Put up the QR codes on the trees and plants in your community. When someone scans any of these QR codes with a mobile phone camera, they're instantly taken to a webpage containing the information you've entered for that particular tree or plant.
Traditional approaches to sharing information about trees and plants include using plaques or collecting information in booklets. However, these are typically difficult to update, hard to scale, and expensive to install.
Using compact, printable QR codes that you can install on or next to any tree or plant, you can avoid all these problems. The QR codes always link directly to a webpage with the latest information you've entered.
Everyone! Whether you're a large national park or small homestay, anyone can use GreenQode.
There are no technical skills required - all you need is internet access, a printer, and a pair of scissors!
Nothing! GreenQode is a free platform.
