Description:
Sacred groves were identified through a field survey with local community people. The geographic location and area of the sacred grove were demarcated using GPS (Garmin etrex vista) and the information was transferred to Map Info 7.5 version for preparing map and area estimation. Observations were made of the general geomorphological factors related to the groves and status of soil moisture conditions, litter cover, soil erosion etc. Details regarding the existing management regimes were recorded through interviews with the community elders.
