The Seek app by iNaturalist is one possible way for armchair conservationists to catalog the trees on their property.

This app is unexpectedly fun to use. My family uses it like PoGo but with native plants and animals.
I like Seek but find I prefer the more "raw", self-titled iNaturalist app itself.
It's great but it just... isn't there yet. It's missing some core features from the desktop website. Seek is a better-made app that strips most of iNaturalist features to basically just make it a species identification app. Not sure if your observations even end up going towards citizen science initiatives like the main app does

The team behind iNaturalist is like 6 people (though they're hiring! I wanted to apply but it seems like they mostly need help with DevOps)
