I Dig Trees - The App

Simple, Powerful, Built for You

Together, we’ve planted millions of trees for climate, wildlife, and communities. Now, we want to make sure every tree counts, and every group’s effort is recognised.

That’s why The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) created the I Dig Trees app - a simple, intuitive tool designed with community groups in mind.

We’ve worked closely with community groups across the UK to design and test the I Dig Trees app. After extensive product testing, the feedback is clear: It’s simple, intuitive, and takes just a few minutes to use.

Whats in it for you?

  • Put your trees on the map – see your planting linked directly to national targets
  • Snap and share biodiversity – your photos add real data to protect nature
  • Track growth that lasts – monitor the health and progress of your trees over time
  • Get your personalised impact report – your site’s stats and legacy, feeding into the UK-wide Impact Report

Why does it matter?

Your data helps us tell the full story of the I Dig Trees phenomenon - the incredible difference you’re making across the UK. From tackling climate change to boosting biodiversity and improving wellbeing, every entry adds to a national picture of impact.

The I Dig Trees movement goes from strength to strength, thanks to you!

Your trees. Your impact. Your app.

I Dig Trees App FAQ's

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for quick tips, this FAQ section is designed to help you find what you need...

Do I have to download the app?

No. The I Dig Trees App is web-based, so there's nothing to download. Just click the link and you're ready to go.

What if I don't have service when I'm planting the trees?

Don't worry. Just take photos of the site then submit your answers once you are back in signal.

My details aren't correct, what should I do?

No problem. Just email us at idt@tcv.org.uk and we'll update them for you.

Can mistakes on the app be amended?

Yes, before you hit submit. Once submitted, you'll need to email us at idt@tcv.org.uk and we'll help fix it. 

What happens if I plant over multiple sites?

Easy. Email us at idt@tcv.org.uk and we'll send you extra links for each site. 

What if I don't have a mobile phone?

You can delegate to someone who does. Your site link can only be used by one person on one device.

Can I share the link with other people?

Your link is unique to your group and can only be used by one person on one device. If needed, you can delegate to someone else to complete the form. 

Still stuck? We’re here to help! Email us at idt@tcv.org.uk and we’ll get you sorted.

Access to the app will be provided when you place an order for trees. All trees are supplied subject to TCV securing funding and your group using the I Dig Trees app to record your planting activity.
