Citizen Science
A live field project with 424 verified tree observations across Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. Every contribution helps build a clearer picture of the places we share.
01 / Why it matters
Why Citizen Science Matters
Environmental knowledge is stronger when more people can help create it. Tree Scout gives curious neighbors, students, and field naturalists a simple way to document what is growing around them.
Ecosystem Health
Track soil health, tree growth, water retention, and biodiversity in real-world environments.
Open Data Network
Add local observations to a growing field record designed for transparency and careful verification.
Build the record
Verified contributions become part of the shared dataset and help make the wider ecological picture more useful.
02 / How it works
How It Works
Environmental tracking made accessible. Submit observations from the field, get them verified by the community, and watch your contributions build the broader picture.
Submit Data
Upload tree growth, soil health, water cycle, or biodiversity observations to the network.
Review and verify
Once reviewed, your contribution strengthens a shared environmental record built from real observations.
03 / What the record can do
From Data to Real-World Change
A trustworthy field record can support education, ecological planning, and better local decisions. We are building that foundation one observation at a time.
Lasting Contributions
Every observation becomes part of a growing, openly verifiable environmental record.
Support better decisions
Use a clearer picture of local ecosystems to support learning, planning, and future restoration work.
Notice a tree. Add to the picture.
You do not need to be an expert to begin. Tree Scout helps you identify, document, and share what you find.
