Fieldbook is a simple and effective mobile app that allows users to collect field data in offline environments and email it to themselves. Fieldbook was originally built as a personal tool by Chid Gilovitz while working as a botanist, but has since been expanded to include a wider range of features and functionality.

Fieldbook is currently used by a number of independent botanists, and Fieldwork Labs also developed a custom version of the app for Nature Conservation Margaret River Region to assist their woody weeds surveys.

Here's a testimonial from Obelia Walker from NCMRR about Fieldbook and working with Fieldwork Labs:

The Fieldbook app has enabled Nature Conservation Margaret River Region to collect weed mapping data across the entire capes region and has been an enormous success in its first year. We have over 50 local community members actively using the app and a growing database of 11,000 weed records being shared with community groups and government departments. The up-to-date mapping has led to better, more responsive decision making and priority setting. The app is easy to use and accessible, providing a conduit between the community and those making decisions around weed control in the region.

It has been fantastic to work with Chid who has listened to our needs, provided effective solutions as well as ongoing advice and support. Thank you Chid for developing this valuable tool and for fast-tracking data collection on invasive weeds in the Margaret River region.

A new version of Fieldbook, called Fieldbook Pro, is currently in development focusing on advanced functionality for professional ecologists and environmental consultants.
