Case Sharing丨QR Code Applications for Trees and Seedlings
Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1899
Equipping trees with QR code tags not only provides them with "digital IDs", but also serves as an educational tool for citizens to learn about plant species. By scanning the codes, citizens can easily access detailed information such as distribution ranges, morphological characteristics, growth habits, cultivation techniques, and cultural significance of park plants. This enhances public understanding of local flora while enriching park educational resources. Simultaneously, maintenance staff can scan codes to log work records, laying the foundation for digital parks and smart forestry management.
Tree QR Codes Showcasing Scenic Area Features
Ningbo Tianyi Pavilion & Moon Lake Scenic Area
Used in the Academician Grove, each ginkgo tree displays a QR code tag with profiles of academicians. Visitors can scan to learn about their achievements. The system enables quick QR code generation by simply uploading locally collected academician information, requiring no complex technical infrastructure. These codes have become a signature feature of the scenic area.
Maintenance Tracking and Archiving

We previously used CaoLiao QR codes for tree tags. After discovering their data logging capabilities, we implemented specialized maintenance codes for new planting areas. Each zone has one maintenance code while others serve display purposes.
The WeChat-compatible system simplifies maintenance operations. Scanning any code reveals tree species, quantities, locations, and maintenance history, effectively monitoring watering schedules and pest control. Each tree's unique ID enables precise tracking of planting dates and maintenance records through exported backend data.
Pest Monitoring with Real-time Data Collection

QR code tags on trees enable efficient pest surveys. Field staff submit investigation records via scanning, allowing administrators to instantly access and analyze data through the backend. This system reduces survey time by 60% while enhancing management of field personnel.
