Terrava for iOS
Discover native plants, identify invasives, and become a steward of the land around you. A field guide, life list, and conservation community — in one app.
Coming soon · iOS · Free to start
"Most of us walk past dozens of native plants every day without knowing their names, their stories, or the role they play in the ecosystem around us. Terrava changes that — one plant at a time."
What it does
A curated field guide to North American plants — natives, pollinators, rare orchids, and the invasives threatening them — with botanical illustrations and real reference photos.
Discover plants in the Discover tab, then go find them in the wild. Take a photo and AI verifies your find before awarding points — no gaming the system.
Every plant detail page shows real nearby sightings from the iNaturalist network and your local Terrava community on an interactive map.
Earn discovery points for finding new species and stewardship points for conservation work. Progress through five levels from Curious Naturalist to Guardian.
Log invasive removals, native plantings, and habitat restoration. Share your work with a community of local stewards who care about the same land you do.
Point your camera at any plant and get an instant identification — with ecological context, identification tips, and a gentle nudge toward stewardship action.
The discovery loop
Explore 127 native and invasive species with botanical illustrations, ecological information, and identification tips.
Use the reference photos and iNaturalist sighting map to find the plant near you. Then go outside.
Take a photo from the plant's page. AI confirms it matches before awarding your points — honest discovery only.
Add to your life list, log your stewardship actions, and share your finds with the local community.
Stewardship matters
Japanese Knotweed. Garlic Mustard. Burning Bush. English Ivy. These plants are reshaping the landscapes around us — and most people can't identify them. Terrava's free tier includes the 20 most important invasives in North America precisely because recognizing them is the first step toward doing something about them.
Terrava is coming soon to the App Store. Free to download — 20 species free forever, unlock all 127 with Pro.
