Offline command-line tool for monitoring and reporting mango tree planting activities in low-resource environments. # Tree-Monitoring-Tool Offline command-line tool for monitoring and reporting mango tree planting activities in low-resource environments. # Mango Tree Planting Monitoring Tool # Overview The Mango Tree Planting Monitoring Tool is a lightweight, offline command-line application built with Python to support the tracking and monitoring of tree planting activities. This tool was developed as part of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) community development initiative to document and monitor the condition of 12 mango trees planted within a camp environment. It enables simple data tracking, follow-up planning, and report generation in low-resource or offline settings. --- # Problem Statement Tree planting initiatives are often carried out without structured systems for: * tracking planted trees over time * monitoring survival and health status * assigning maintenance responsibility * generating simple reports for documentation This tool provides a basic, practical solution to support these needs. --- # Features # Data Viewing * View all tree records * View project summary (total, healthy, weak, dead) * Identify trees needing attention * View tree distribution by location * View assigned teams responsible for maintenance # Data Management * Update tree status (Healthy / Needs Water / Dead) * Update next inspection date * Update assigned team/person # Reporting * Generate a structured text report * Save report locally for documentation --- ## Project Structure ``` tree-planting-monitoring-tool/ ├── trees_monitor.py ├── data/ │ └── trees.csv ├── reports/ │ └── summary_report.txt ├── README.md └── requirements.txt ``` --- # Data Format The tool uses a CSV file (`data/trees.csv`) to store tree records. # Example: ``` tree_id,species,location,date_planted,status,next_check,assigned_to 001,Mango,Camp Gate,2026-03-29,Healthy,2026-04-15,Team A 002,Mango,Admin Block,2026-03-29,Needs Water,2026-04-15,Team B ``` ### Field Descriptions: * **tree_id** …
