Integrated Forestry Mapping & Spatial Analysis

Forest Surveys combines remote sensing, UAV data capture, GIS analysis, and field-based forestry surveying within one connected workflow. This integrated approach helps ensure mapping outputs are both technically accurate and practically relevant to woodland management requirements.

By combining spatial data with on-the-ground forestry expertise, we provide reliable woodland insight that supports efficient project delivery and informed decision-making.

Mapping That Supports Practical Woodland Management

Our mapping solutions are designed to provide woodland owners, forestry managers, and land professionals with accurate spatial data that can be used effectively across planning, management, and operational workflows.

By integrating remote sensing, UAV imagery, GIS analysis, and field survey data, we help improve visibility across woodland assets, support informed decision-making, and provide reliable mapping outputs tailored to the requirements of each project.

The real time solution

Carbon Assessments

Leveraging a blend of field data and aerial imagery, our team can assess the carbon sequestration capacity of a woodland. This comprehensive approach enables the projection of future carbon storage based on the growth dynamics of various strata within the woodland. This can be as a standalone assessment or as part of the Woodland Carbon Code.

Tree Health

Our team excels in identifying and reporting on the extent of tree safety issues arising from tree diseases. Additionally, we can assess recoverable timber to evaluate potential products following a tree health notice, aiding in mitigating financial losses. This proactive approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of tree health, contributing to responsible land management.

Woodland Stratification

Woodland stratification is essential for gaining a comprehensive understanding of a woodlands resource. Precisely measuring and compartmentalising areas is crucial, necessitating the collection of both geospatial and attribute data. Understanding the size, shape, and composition of the woodland and it features enables informed stratification and harvesting planning.

Planting Assessments

Stocking Density Assessments (SDA) serve as a crucial measure to evaluate the success of a woodland establishment project. Implementing a robust assessment process is essential for pinpointing areas of concern, comprehending their underlying causes, and focusing planning of subsequent beat-up planting efforts.

Peatland & Hydrology

Utilising aerial imagery and generating Digital Terrain Models of a landscape enables the comprehensive evaluation of hydrology and site composition. Augmented by on-the-ground sampling and surveys, this approach provides a detailed assessment, pinpointing drainage concerns and identifying saturated areas within a landscape.

 Storm Damage

Storm damage mapping is very important as the impact of unpredictable and severe weather patterns intensifies due to climate change. Employing drone imagery, NDVI imagery, and field surveys, we can effectively quantify the damage inflicted on woodlands by high winds, flooding, and drought.
