Learn about Irish upland woodland and scrub plant communities and how to identify them. Aimed at the upland woods in the Ballyhoura Mountains, Co. Limerick.
Learn and identity the native Trees and Shrubs to be found in the Ballyhoura Mountains
Easy to use and only a knowledge of common woodland plants needed.
• Tree Id sections using either leaves or buds
• A to Z of 43 trees and shrubs
• New Tree Search and Compare section
• Offline Map only using Location on device
• Interactive key calculates the community in front of you
• Images of each species in key
• Descriptions and plant tables for each of the 12 communities covered

Although the scope of the app is limited to the Ballyhoura Mountains in County Limerick, it is hoped that it will open up the fascinating world of upland woodland and scrub in other parts of Ireland to the user. The Woodland Key will help you turn a woodland comprised of individual plants into different assemblages of plants forming distinct communities. Once your eyes start picking out these patterns in plant distribution you will never view woodland or any vegetation in the same way again.
Using Leaves or Winter features learn to identify 43 species of trees and shrubs
Find out where you are and where the woods are using the Map. No need for data connection as map is already on the app.
Based on the book 'A Field Guide to Woodland and Scrub of the Ballyhoura Mountains, County Limerick, Ireland' by Rob Lynch (ISBN 978-1-5272-2633-3).
