TreeSource

TreeSource is the National database on wood and trees quality in Canada. Developed by the Canadian Forest Service, it aims to gather the largest possible amount of information on trees quality (dendrometry, physico-mechanical and chemical properties) for economically important species across Canada, for research purposes.

Data are accessible for the whole forest sector (governments, academia, industry).

With more than 800 000 trees, both coniferous and deciduous, over 1.7 millions dendrometrical measurements, and nearly 22 000 samples analyzed for physico-mechanical properties (wood density, MFA), TreeSource stands as the largest reference database on the topic.

TreeSource is also host to the CFS-TRenD database, a collection of more than 17 millions growth rings from Canadian Forest Service projects.
