Introduction to TreeMapper

TreeMapper is a digital monitoring and management platform developed by Plant-for-the-Planet to support high-quality, transparent, and science-based forest restoration.

TreeMapper is designed to help restoration projects move beyond simple tree-count reporting and towards data-driven ecosystem monitoring. It enables organizations to document planting activities, monitor tree survival and growth, manage species and interventions, and analyze restoration progress over time, all in a standardized and verifiable way.

TreeMapper mobile app and web dashboard overview

The platform consists of two tightly integrated components:

  • TreeMapper Mobile Appbuilt for on-ground data collection, even in remote and offline environments
  • TreeMapper Web Dashboardbuilt for project management, data analysis, and collaboration

Together, they provide an end-to-end solution for restoration teams, NGOs, researchers, and funders to plan, monitor, verify, and improve restoration outcomes.

Purpose and Vision

TreeMapper was created to address common challenges in restoration projects, such as:

  • Inconsistent data collection across teams and regions
  • Limited visibility into long-term survival and impact
  • Difficulty managing species, plots, and interventions at scale
  • Lack of transparent and auditable monitoring data

By combining field-level data capture with centralized analytics and management, TreeMapper supports credible restoration aligned with ecological best practices rather than just planting numbers.

Who TreeMapper Is For

TreeMapper is used by:

  • Forest and landscape restoration organizations
  • Tree planting and monitoring teams
  • Conservation projects and research initiatives
  • Donors and partners seeking transparent impact reporting

It is especially suited for projects that require long-term monitoring, species-level insights, and clear accountability.

What's New

TreeMapper has recently evolved into a more powerful and scalable platform with:

  • A web dashboard offering advanced functionality such as role management, species and intervention management, and analytics
  • Enhanced mobile app features, including structured monitoring plots and improved long-term monitoring workflows

These updates make TreeMapper not just a data collection tool, but a comprehensive restoration management system.
