Where is the ground changing? How does vegetation structure vary across the site? Has the shoreline moved? We help turn those questions into a defined collection area and useful spatial data. The result is a shared reference for project teams, field specialists, and the people responsible for monitoring progress.

Restoration planning

Understand existing elevations, slopes, drainage context, and disturbed ground before work begins. Use the baseline to help compare restoration options, locate areas for closer investigation, and document how the physical site develops through construction and recovery.

Vegetation structure

Map canopy height and the spatial pattern of vegetation relative to the ground. Identify structural differences across a large area, focus field visits, and compare repeat collections to assess where vegetation has grown, been removed, or changed in distribution.

Shoreline and wetland monitoring

Record shoreline positions, terrain, and selected site features across coastal or wetland environments. Repeat mapping can help locate movement and erosion patterns. Collection timing and water levels provide context for interpreting differences between collection dates.
