The SEED index (currently in beta) is a scientific tool developed to measure how close a site is to its natural potential state. Rather than measuring a site in isolation, SEED compares the ecological condition of your site to what that ecosystem would look like if it were undisturbed, giving you a meaningful benchmark for ecological recovery.
This is particularly powerful for demonstrating restoration progress over time: you can show funders and stakeholders not just that trees were planted, but that the ecosystem is genuinely recovering toward its natural state.
