Woodland intelligence

The memory system for a woodland.

Dendromeda helps woodland owners, ecologists and foresters turn maps, photographs, observations and management actions into a living record of how a woodland changes over time.

Join the private beta See how it works

A woodland is more than a map.

Dendromeda connects the things that actually matter: compartments, notable trees, habitat features, photos, tasks, objectives and outcomes.

01

Record features

Track whitebeam, oak standards, veteran birch, hazel areas, holly thickets, rides and wet woodland patches.

02

Add observations

Upload photos and notes from each visit. Attach them to the woodland, a compartment or an individual feature.

03

Build understanding

See change over time: crown release, regeneration, browsing pressure, canopy gaps and management outcomes.

Living management plans

Plans should emerge from evidence.

Traditional woodland management plans are snapshots. Dendromeda continuously records objectives, interventions and outcomes so a UKFS-aligned plan becomes an output of the system, not the starting point.

Management plan generatedEvidence, actions and outcomes assembled into a coherent woodland plan.

Let people understand what they’re walking through.

For woods with public paths, Dendromeda can publish a simple public page: why trees are being thinned, which habitat features are being retained, and what the woodland is becoming.

Public woodland pages

A QR code on a bridleway can show a calm, readable story of the woodland and its management.

Notable tree stories

Explain the lone whitebeam, the veteran oak, the retrenched birch and the retained willow patch.

Trust through context

When people see felling, tubes or thinning, they can understand the ecological intention behind the work.

The operating system for woodland management.

Dendromeda is starting with small private and community woodlands: the places where good management happens over decades, but the evidence often lives in one person’s head.
