Tools for mapping work

Every­thing you need for map­ping — apps, instruc­tions, maps, species lists and iden­ti­fi­ca­tion tools.

Sen­si­tive habi­tats
Moors and oth­er valu­able biotopes are sen­si­tive to tram­pling. Only enter them in small groups (max. 3 peo­ple) and move as gen­tly as pos­si­ble.

Col­lect plants
Only col­lect plant mate­r­i­al if it is nec­es­sary for a reli­able deter­mi­na­tion.

Pro­tect­ed areas
In mush­room and plant pro­tec­tion areas, the col­lec­tion of all plant mate­r­i­al is pro­hib­it­ed. For Flo­ra Raet­i­ca, a col­lec­tion per­mit for research pur­pos­es can be applied for if required.

Pri­vate land
When map­ping on pri­vate land or in agri­cul­tur­al areas, please con­tact the own­er in advance.

Steep ter­rain
Behave respon­si­bly, do not take any risks and adapt the excur­sion routes to your fit­ness and sure­foot­ed­ness.

InfoFlora instructions

We record the plant obser­va­tions for Flo­ra Raet­i­ca using the InfoFlo­ra tools:

Flora Raetica instructions

This infor­ma­tion will help you get start­ed with the Flo­ra Raet­i­ca project

Cards

Plan your excur­sions direct­ly via the inter­ac­tive map.

The map shows the map­ping progress in Graubün­den: For each of the 360 squares (5 km × 5 km), the per­cent­age of species found since 2021 com­pared to the expect­ed species is shown.

Species lists

These lists will help you to search for spe­cif­ic species:

Determination tools & literature

The major­i­ty of plants can be iden­ti­fied using a hand-held mag­ni­fy­ing glass with 10x mag­ni­fi­ca­tion. For fin­er fea­tures, a 14x or 20x mag­ni­fi­ca­tion can occa­sion­al­ly be help­ful.

There are many help­ful books on plant iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. Our lit­er­a­ture list (down­load) con­tains a selec­tion of proven works for:

  • Basic knowl­edge of field botany
  • Deter­mi­na­tion of plants
  • Sys­tem­at­ics of the plants
  • Habi­tats
