High-quality forest data is out there.
Let's unlock its value together.
Most 3D forest data is scattered and unused. We make it visible, connected, and valuable — for science, AI, and sustainability.
A global archive for 3D forest data
3Dtrees.earth is a collaborative platform where data holders can upload, visualize, and share high-quality 3D forest data — and receive predictive insights in return.
Free data hosting and DOI assignment
Host your 3D scans with reliable storage, assign persistent identifiers, and ensure scientific citability.
Web-based visualization
Use an intuitive, browser-based viewer to explore your point clouds — no software installation needed.
Predictive insights
Receive model-based estimates of tree species, height, volume, crown shape and more.
Build the global forest reference
Your contribution helps build a high-quality, open dataset for AI model training and forest monitoring.
Get credit and visibility
Your data gets acknowledged and can be cited by others — increasing your impact.
Quality assurance
Our validation tools help ensure your data meets scientific standards and is ready for analysis.
Growing Data Collection
Explore our growing collection of 3D forest data from around the world. Each point represents a dataset contributed by researchers and organizations.
Loading data...
3dTrees.earth is actively evolving. The datasets currently displayed are just a fraction of what we have already collected — and many more are on the way.
Roadmap
Our journey to build the most comprehensive 3D forest data platform
Upcoming

Who's Behind 3dTrees.earth?
We’re a team of forest scientists, data engineers, and conservationists with a shared vision: to turn isolated 3D scans into a powerful resource for global forest understanding.
Our Experience
Based on the experience of building deadtrees.earth (AI-driven forest health mapping), we've created a platform that addresses the unique challenges of 3D forest data management and analysis.
Our Mission
We're committed to creating an open, collaborative ecosystem for 3D forest data that accelerates scientific discovery, improves forest monitoring, and supports sustainable forest management worldwide.
