Managing Species

Learn how to manage tree species in TreeMapper on mobile and on the web dashboard.

Species management is where you review, customize, and organize the species you use during intervention registration (for example during tree planting).

TreeMapper downloads the species list during installation from the Plant-for-the-Planet database. It includes 60,000+ species covering the most planted species. Once downloaded, the species list remains available offline in the mobile app.

Where You Can Manage Species

  • Mobile App: Manage species directly on your device (works offline once downloaded)
  • Web Dashboard: The same types of updates (like local naming, descriptions, images, and favorites) can be managed from the web dashboard as well.

Managing Species in the Mobile App (Offline-Friendly)

In the mobile app, species are available even without internet once they've been downloaded. You can customize species data locally to better match your field workflows.
