Treat it once. Track it forever.
Infestations, treatments, and re-surveys across every partner organization — with the chemistry, costs, and compliance record attached to each visit.
From islands of data to one shared record.
A volunteer crew pulling Japanese knotweed along a creek keeps its own notebook. The county has a spreadsheet. The state can't see either — so the same infestation gets surveyed twice, treated late, and never adds up to a picture anyone can act on.
Driftwise puts every organization on one shared record — the small crew, the land trust, the agency, the university. Work done in isolation becomes work everyone can see, trust, and build on.

Representative season — the ledger is the product's shared entity record.
Get every partner working off the same map.
- 01Sightings
Everyone's sightings, one map.
Field crews and volunteers drop sightings — species, density, photos. Imports from ArcGIS Survey123, EDDMapS, and iMapInvasives land beside them; public reports wait in a moderated review queue. Hotspots emerge on their own.
- 02Status
Every patch carries its status.
Untreated, treated, re-survey due — every sighting moves through the same states, with a treatment log per visit that keeps the chain of custody across crews and seasons.
- 03Operations
Crews, chemistry, and compliance — attached.
The treatment ledger, crew schedule, and costs live on the record itself. Chemical entries carry product, EPA registration number, volume, and concentration; weather rules gate the schedule.
- 04Priority
See what's spreading. Act where it matters.
Density hotspots surface where infestation concentrates, priority scoring weighs sensitive habitat, and the whole record is grant-ready and partner-shareable.
From flagged sighting to coordinated response.
One shared map holds every infestation and the treatment history behind it. Below, one knotweed patch crosses a season — in the product's own screens, rebuilt for the page.
A sighting comes in from the field.
Species, density, a photo, and GPS — logged from the mobile app even with no signal, or reported by the public into a moderated review queue. Sensitive-habitat overlays show while you log, and the sighting lands as a point on the shared map above.
The season gets laid out once.
A plan carries ordered steps with the gap in days between each — mow, then smother five days later. Check-ins branch it: if there is regrowth at the two-week mark the herbicide pass is already scheduled, and if there is not, it never fires.
Crews see exactly what is theirs.
Plan steps schedule against teams, and every member gets a my-schedule view — what is due, what is overdue, what is coming — with each day's temperature and wind on the team calendar. Work closes from the same card: crew hours, acreage, and photos.
Every visit becomes the season's ledger.
Method, crew hours, acreage, and cost land in the treatment ledger, and each site carries its status — so partners coordinate timing off the same record instead of stepping on each other. Year-over-year spread and funder-ready reports come straight off it.

Did the restoration take?
Planting a stem and spraying a patch is the easy part. Driftwise watches every restoration site for whether it is actually recovering — reading your crew's measurements alongside national satellite and soil data — and hands you the sites slipping, worst first.
See a restoration reportOne polygon, read from every angle. This is the evidence behind the state — the same picture whether the site is a treated reach or dry restoration ground.
4.2% annual forb / grass — invasive-annual indicator (e.g. cheatgrass)
This signal detects annual invaders. Perennial invasives — knotweed, canary grass — register as perennial cover here and are not flagged; field observations are the direct measure.

- Wetland3.8%
- Cropland3.4%
- Grass / shrub0.2%
- Water0.1%
Evidence becomes one state, and a next step.
Only measured shortfalls against target trip an edge — survival, cover, bank and channel form, vegetation recovery. The site takes the state of the worst edge that tripped, so one failing measure is never averaged away by five healthy ones. Every site lands here, with the reading that put it there:
An edge was crossed- CriticalA critical edge is crossed — the restoration is failing. Intervene now.
- WarningA warning edge is crossed — off target. Action needed soon.
- WatchAn informational edge is crossed — slipping. Monitor and re-check.
- All clearNothing we could assess crossed an edge. On track — not a guarantee the planting takes.
- Partial dataWe looked, and could not see enough to conclude. Schedule a visit.
- Not evaluatedNo run has looked at this site yet — not an all-clear.

Is it a good day to spray or plant?
The week of daytime windows, rated from the forecast on wind, temperature, and rain — so a crew books the day the work will hold. A planning aid; it never touches the site's state.

Intelligence that closes the loop.
A conclusion only matters if someone acts on it. The restoration engine turns a flagged site into a recommended action, a notified crew, and a logged treatment — without leaving the platform.
- Engines
One engine, the same pattern
Terrestrial Habitat Restoration reads restoration ground the way the aquatic engines read water — site by site, against edges of the same kind.
- Detect
An edge is crossed
Every input is watched against its own healthy range, from live and modeled data. When a reading leaves that range the reach rises up the list carrying the state of the worst edge it crossed — and a reach we could not read enough of says so, as Partial data, rather than passing quietly for clear.
- Recommend
Actions with deadlines
A flagged reach turns into a recommended action — inspect, verify, treat, repair, escalate — with a due date set by priority, from three days for critical down to thirty for low. Actions route to the right people by role tag.
- Notify
Team notified
One click sends an in-app and email alert — with the report PDF attached — to the people who need to act. A daily digest rolls up everything else, with per-event preferences.
- Publish
Published & reported
Publish a public advisory to your map, or read the season off a Hazard Pulse timeline of closures and advisories. Corridor and reach reports export to a branded PDF, led by the subject's state and the readings behind it; work reports and audit logs export to CSV.
One platform for three monitoring programs.
Run a mark-recapture program, coordinate a multi-partner invasive species response, or manage the waterway program for a state park or conservation nonprofit. Bring your own program to the demo and we'll run Driftwise on it, live.
Request a demoA free 30-minute working session with your data on screen.
Scope a pilot for your program.
Tell us about your program — a watershed, an infestation, a trail system. We'll walk through how a field record becomes the report your agency and funders sign off on.
A working call, not a pitch
We spend the time on your actual program — the data you have now and the report you owe.
Guided onboarding
We import your existing records and configure the setup alongside your team. Role-based in-product tours carry the rest of the crew after the call.
