North Creek, New York – Announcing that MyNature, Inc., the developers of MyNature Animal Tracks, are excited about launching their newest app, the MyNature Tree Guide. Users can use this app to identify trees, see images of leaves, needles, fruit, bark, illustrated drawing and a profile of each tree.

No other application does what MyNature Trees can do. It makes an educational experience fun in new way. Using a series of 15 questions the user answers as many as possible. The app will match the answers against its database for the tree that most closely resembles the answered questions. You can also use the questions themselves as a broader search by searching for leaf shape, fruit shape, number of needles as well as many other combinations of searchable features a tree may have. Once identified, the user can see photos and range maps or read more to learn about the tree and its growth cycle.

The app can also alert users to which trees they may find in any area in North America. Just enter the state or province initials into the app and hit submit, all the trees featured for that state will be listed. MyNature Trees also includes a place for making notes, which is particularly useful for those who enjoy recording their outdoor discoveries.

Some of the MyNature Tree Guide Features are:
* Searchable database containing over 200 trees found in North America
* Clearly illustrated leaf drawings showing the prominent features of each trees leaf
* Digital images of an actual leaf, some with their Autumn colors
* Range maps to reference a trees presence in your location
* Full color digital images of a trees fruit or cone
* Digital images of a trees bark as well as its profile
* Handy ruler to measure and aid in leaf identification
* MyNature journal, where you can personally record the trees you’ve found along with the location, weather conditions or just your own personal thoughts about your day in the field
* State Tree quiz
* Interesting and fun facts about trees
* Scientific names and their meanings and much more

Currently, MyNature Trees features over 200 trees found in North America. MyNature Trees is a fully-loaded, one of a kind app that’s great for kids and adults alike. It is the most fun a nature loving person can have while learning.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad

MyNature Tree Guide

jgreco — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:40:32 +0000

After a lot of delays we are happy to announce that the Tree app has finally seen the light of day. MyNature Trees went live in the App Store on Saturday night the 19th of June. Because of some technical difficulties we kept it under wraps until Tuesday the 22nd. We were presently surprised that people were still finding it on iTunes with no publicity whatsoever. Today we’re very excited to find the app ranked 32nd in grossing apps in the reference category, 49th ranked overall in reference and ranked an impressive 762 out of all app categories combined. Judging from the user reviews and ratings we’ve done a pretty good job with the design, content and functionality, out of 24 current ratings we are sitting at 21 five stars and 3 four stars. We’re very pleased that the app has been so well accepted so far, over time it will continue to grow with the addition of more species and social features to share your discoveries outdoors.

If there is something you would like to see included in the Tree app in the future we value your feedback and would love to hear from you. Our goal is to make user friendly apps that educate you in Nature and leave you with a pleasant experience at the same time.

We would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all who have helped us get to this point today. Without your support MyNature Trees would not be achieving the ranking it’s at this moment.

Happy Hiking !!

iPhone Users Needed

jgreco — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 01:01:04 +0000

If your an iPhone user and you love nature then we could sure use your help. We are starting to work on our update to the MyNature Animal Track app. One of the features we will be adding to the update is a database that users can post sightings to as well as search any area of North America. I don’t want to give to much away but what we need is to have a few hundred sightings to seed the database with. If you are interested in participating please take a digital image of the animal or track and note your GPS location as well as a physical location …… Hudson River, North Creek, New York for example. Email that information to me at mynature@mynaturesite.com and we’ll take it from there. We may need to get a user name set up for each submission….. I’ll figure all that out in the mean time. I hope you can help us out, down the road a few years from now this will be one site filled with a ton of information and you could be a part of it’s inception, I certainly hope you are!!!

Happy Tracking!!!

iPhone Tree App

jgreco — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:36:29 +0000

After many, many months of long hours and much frustration the MyNature Tree app is finally ready to see the light of day. It should be released sometime in the next few days according to the programmer. I’m both excited to see it come out and apprehensive about how it will do. With 200 trees it is a good representation of North American flora. I ‘ll be needing to update it often, maybe 20 trees at a time and then go into regional guides. What it lacks in quantity at the moment it more than makes up for in quality as there are digital images of every species leaf or needle, fruit, bark and profile as well as individual range maps. Look for a Youtube demo shortly.

Happy Hiking!!

Muskrats

jgreco — Sat, 29 May 2010 12:55:46 +0000

The Muskrat is one of the easiest animal tracks to identify if you know what to look for. Muskrats live in and around the water and leave their tell tail tracks and sign to let us know they are around.

Muskrats have a long thick tail that drags behind them as they walk. The tail drag will show in mud or snow and is a sure give away of a Muskrats presence. Their front foot has four toes and will measure right around 1 1/2 inches long while their back foot measures 2 to 2 1/2 inches long and has five toes. Any time you see a set of tracks along a waterway with a thin line between them you can be pretty certain you found a Muskrat.

Another tell tale sign of a Muskrat is their Scat. Muskrats deposit their scat on logs, stumps or rocks in or near the waters edge. You will always find them on an elevated surface. Their scat is pellet shaped when fresh but as it ages it begins to sort of melt together to form one large mass. Muskrats will often use the same site to deposit their scat in and you will find varying ages of scat like the ones in the picture above.

If you haven’t tried out the MyNature Animal Track app yet look us up on the Droid or iPhone we now have a free lite version. Not as good as the pro version but there is a demo in there to see what the full version contains.

Identifying Skunk Tracks

jgreco — Sat, 22 May 2010 01:05:46 +0000

Most people have smelled a skunk, there’s no mistaking the odor but would you recognize a skunk’s track if you saw one? Skunks have five toes on both their fore and hind foot they actually resemble a miniature bear track. The front track will measure from 1 to just over 1 1/2 inches long and the hind track will be just a bit longer measuring around 1 3/4 to 2 inches long. They have long sharp claws for digging and the claws will almost always register in their tracks. Skunks most often utilize a pacing gait where all four feet will register in the trail they leave. If you happen to come upon fresh tracks and follow them just remember to keep a safe distance if they lead you to their owner, skunks can spray up to 15 feet and can spray very accurately up to 10 feet.
