Plan forests, meadows, hedgerows and more using native species in your community. Built for community groups restoring biodiversity in urban landscapes.
Dense, multi-layered native forests inspired by the Miyawaki Method. Plant trees and shrubs across vertical layers to create forests that establish in years, not decades. Includes pocket forests for small yards.
Native grasses, sedges and wildflowers that transform lawns into four-season habitat for pollinators and birds. Seven community types adapted to different site conditions — from sunny boulevards to forest floors.
Dense shrub plantings that provide year-round food and nesting habitat for birds. Selected for fruiting season succession — spring berries through winter-persistent fruits — and wildlife corridor connectivity.
Each tool feeds into the next — site conditions shape your species recommendations, species selections generate your planting plan, and the plan flows into long-term stewardship.
Map your site, document conditions, and identify constraints. The site assessment connects directly to species filtering so your recommendations match your ground truth.
Browse native species filtered to your site and planting approach. The tool tracks your mix against methodology targets so you can see how your selection is shaping up as you build it.
Generate order lists with quantities and cost estimates, site preparation checklists, volunteer coordination tools, and schedules tailored to your timeline.
Track your planting over time with check-in logs, photo documentation, and seasonal task reminders. See how your forest, meadow, or hedgerow develops year over year.
Explore native species with filters for light, moisture, tolerances, and ecological features.
