2025-03-21 - 2025-03-30 | Anywhere in India, India
We have arrived into March of 2025! Is it spring? Or is it summer already? Let’s ask the trees.
A celebration of trees – The March Tree Festival is here! Add observations on the trees around you to SeasonWatch and win prizes!
Date: 21 – 30 March 2025
Location: Anywhere in India!

To add more fun to the festival, we have three challenges for you. Complete these challenges with as many tree observations as possible and be the all-India winner!
1. 100-not-out: Observe 100 individuals of any of the 171 SeasonWatch tree species in the 10 days of the festival.
2. Scarlet Summer: Observe as many trees as possible of these 5 species with red and orange flowers – Red Silk Cotton, Flame of the Forest, True Ashok, Indian Coral Tree, Nilgiri Rhododendron

How to participate

If you’re new to SeasonWatch, register on the website or Android App. If you are already registered to SeasonWatch, just log into your account and add tree observations as usual.
Go outdoors and choose any SeasonWatch species to observe.
To make a one-time-only observation on a tree, click on the ‘casual’ tab, and then on the ‘eye’ icon. To observe the same tree more than once, click on the ‘regular’ tab and then the ‘+’ button to register it with SeasonWatch, or on the ‘eye’ icon to add observations on a registered tree. You can make both types of observations for the November Tree Festival! Need more help? Watch our video tutorials to get set and go!
Make an observation as follows – imagine the tree canopy as a circle and divide it into 3 equal parts from the centre. If the stage you are observing is found in ⅓ parts, choose ‘few’. If the stage is seen in more than one part, choose ‘many’, and if it is absent, choose ‘none’.
To share your observations with everyone, make sure to make your profile set to ‘public’ on the website (Login > Account > My profile > Make profile public), and keep track of daily observations at Explore > Patterns > Observations.
Participate in other ways by doing tree walks with tree lovers, and sharing the event posters with tree enthusiasts. Help us spread the word!

Happy SeasonWatching!
