Explore the
Trees of Our Planet
Discover species from forests, mountains, deserts and cities — their identity, natural range, habitats, uses, ecological roles and conservation stories.
One living library.
Countless stories.
WORLD TREES connects species names to the places, climates, organisms and people around them. The site is designed to make botanical exploration visual, searchable and easy to expand.
