VERA Verspreidingsatlas

With VERA you can easily enter observations of plants, mosses, lichens, mushrooms and mollusks. In addition to entering individual observations, the app has special forms for the measurement programs of FLORON, NMV and BLWG from the Ecological Monitoring Network (NEM).

During field work, smart functions help you to stay within a kilometer box or walking route. You can also quickly enter observations and add photos.

When you have finished entering, upload the data to the NDFF Distribution Atlas. Here you can later find and further edit the observations. Experts check your observations and can inquire if in doubt. Once checked, your observations contribute to knowledge about biodiversity in the Netherlands.

To use the app you need an account in the NDFF Distribution Atlas.
