GrassSnap- A Mobile App for Monitoring Grasslands

By Bethany Johnston, UNL Extension Educator

GrassSnap makes photo-monitoring a snap! Rangeland managers can quickly grab repeatable photo-monitoring data, and save it to their smart device. Data can easily be downloaded to a computer.

Check out the unique features of the app:

  • A ghost image allows users to effortlessly replicate the landscape view each year.
  • Pictures are stored in an organized easily downloaded manner with written comments tied to the correct image.
  • Applies your pasture name, GPS location, and date to all images. That way the important data is visible every time a photo is viewed or printed.

This app is a go-to tool for those enrolled in the Nebraska NRCS CSP grazing management enhancement (PLT02). GrassSnap is available for Apple and Droid devices (search GrassSnap).
