Introducing Terraware

Forest Management Platform

Terraware is a free, open-source platform that supports the full forest-restoration lifecycle — from seed collection and nursery production to field planting, monitoring, and carbon accounting.

At every stage, Terraware replaces clipboards and disconnected spreadsheets with structured, reliable data - a shared record that everyone from field teams to funders and governments can trust. This improves transparency and decision-making, leading to healthier forests.

One Platform for the Full Restoration Lifecycle

Forestry practitioners use Terraware to manage every stage of restoration in one place -- from seed collection and nursery production to planting and long-term monitoring.

1. Manage Seed Inventory

Record seed collections in the field from your phone, then check them into a seed bank. Log withdrawals, run viability tests, and always know exactly what you have banked and where it came from.

2. Set and Track Nursery Inventory

Follow every seedling from germination to planting, with live counts of what's ready, not ready, or still germinating. Gain insight into nursery inventory vs. planting goals, and record exactly where each seedling ends up.

3. Plan Planting Seasons & Track Planting Locations

Build planting-season plans to match your goals for planting density and species mixes. Create plans for exactly what will be planted in what area of each site, including detailed day-by-day planting schedules.

4. Monitor Biomass and Survival Rates

Capture data on plant survival and growth offline in the field, in sampling plots Terraware assigns using proven statistical methods. Anyone can collect science-grade data, and Terraware will compute area-weighted survival and biomass numbers that verifiers trust.

5. Understand Project Performance

See how a project is really doing at a glance. Terraware brings seed, nursery, planting, and monitoring data into one place, so you can track progress over time and act on what you see.

Transparency for Funding Partners

The Funder Portal gives project funders insight into how their funding is being put to work and the impact it is creating.

Track performance

Regular reports show how each project is progressing across ecological, social, and operational goals, including hectares restored, tree survival, jobs created, and other key indicators. Reports also surface challenges and mitigation plans, providing an honest view of project performance.

Follow progress

A funder-exclusive activity log provides timely updates from the field, showing what happened, when, and where. Updates and photos from the field are shown on a map, bringing project activities to life and enabling funders to stay up to date on project activities.
