An open-source PC and VR simulator for practicing uneven-aged pine forest management.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.

For: Forestry students, landowners, and forest professionals
Worth noticing: It can import a measured stand from CSV and report changes in forest structure, stumpage value, and product classes.

Field notes

Pinescape supports both generated stands and user-supplied CSV data, allowing training exercises to use real or imagined forest layouts. Its workflow combines tree marking, eye-level and bird's-eye inspection, instant harvest statistics, and exportable marking results. The homepage says the underlying Unreal Engine project is open source, while the GitHub link is still marked as coming soon.
