Claim the trees you love. Discover the ones already on the map.
Hi, Tree is shaped around a slow, simple loop: notice, claim, return. The same three steps the app teaches you on day one.
Notice a tree you like. Take a photo, name it, and claim it.
Save it on the map and share it with others.
Discover trees claimed by others, and add photos and field notes.
Claiming a tree is the start of a quiet friendship. Keep it company now and then and it stays yours; wander off for too long and it passes on to someone else on the map — so no tree is ever forgotten.
A check-in, a new photo, or a hello in Tree Chat keeps the bond alive. Look in on your tree every few weeks and it stays with you for good.
Let three weeks pass without a visit and your tree gently opens up for adoption — free for a new keeper to claim. We'll nudge you well before it slips away.
When a tree finds a new keeper, everyone who tended it before stays part of its story — a small chain of the people who once said hello.
Active keepers never lose a tree — visiting always resets the clock.
Once you've claimed a tree, you can ask it about itself. Tree Chat is a quiet ritual — not a chatbot gimmick. It's a small, considered space to wonder out loud about something that's been quietly outliving us.
"The thing about being an oak is the patience. I've been waiting since the Kennedy administration."
Every pin is someone's noticed tree. The map grows with each claim — a slow, distributed atlas of attention.
Scattered across the map are Epic Trees — the notable ones we've gathered for you to discover. Any of them is free to adopt, and each comes with a story worth passing on.
We've seeded the map with remarkable, storied trees — champion oaks, town-square giants, trees older than the country they stand in. None are claimed yet.
Epic Trees wear a special badge so they stand out among the everyday ones. Spot one glowing on the map and you know it has a story.
Because each one is already documented, an Epic Tree makes a wonderful first claim — find one near you, give it a name, and it's yours.
If you're curious about something not covered here, we'd genuinely love to hear from you.
