Purpose: Research Purposes
Date of Coverage: 12/28/2023 - 12/28/2023

Good day!!

We are students from Pasay City National Science High School, conducting research on vegetation analysis in a riparian zone. We would like to know if you offer online plant identification services through plant pictures instead of in-person identification and how much would it be? Thank you.

Note: This is for our research that will be conducted in 2024 this academic year.

Ranido 04:09 PM, Dec 28, 2023 

Given that it's a vegetation analysis, there would be a lot of plants to be identified. Would the process still be the same?
