TreeSpot

Map your city's trees. Protect the old ones.

TreeSpot is a crowdsourced tree-mapping platform. Volunteers find a tree, record where it is and how big it is, add photos and notes, and submit it. Arborists and administrators review each entry before it appears on the public canopy map.

How it works

Three steps from start to finish.

1

Record

A volunteer finds a tree and logs its location, size and photos on a phone, even offline.

2

Verify

An arborist or administrator reviews the entry before it goes public.

3

Explore

Verified trees appear on the public canopy map for anyone to search and export.

Who it's for

  • Citizen-science groups and tree-lover communities
  • Municipal and urban forestry teams
  • Conservation NGOs and researchers
  • Landscape architects documenting existing trees on a site

Built with privacy in mind

  • Photos are re-encoded on the device before upload, removing camera serial numbers and embedded GPS data
  • Volunteers appear under pseudonymous botanical handles on public pages
  • Role-based access, so volunteers can only edit their own submissions
