Environmental management

Public interest in the environment is very strong and a sustainable approach to forestry and land management is essential.

Key issues

• meeting conservation and pollution targets whilst delivering or enabling a reasonable return for landowners;
• maintaining public rights of way and complying with Open Access legislation; and
• understanding the productivity of different parts of the estate.

The solution

Geographical information can help by enabling you to:

• maintain electronic records using location as a common reference;
• identify woodland in need of coppicing or the habitats of protected species; and
• report against targets in a more timely and efficient manner.
