SENCE MapsNatural Capital

Ecosystem Services are the benefits that humans obtain from the processes and structures within ecosystems; they provide water, energy and timber, enable food production, sustain wildlife and provide employment and recreation. Environment Systems has developed new methods for modelling and mapping Ecosystem Services at regional and national scales. We now deliver this under our SENCE(Spatial Evidence for Natural Capital Evaluation) brand.

Phase 1 habitat map via remote sensingHabitat Mapping

We have been mapping habitats ever since we started, pioneering the use of satellite technology to map everything from grassland to woodland to coastal heath and limestone pavement.

Our experience stretches from geographical areas as diverse as the Georgia Rangelands to remote islands in the Caribbean and the South Atlantic.

We provide inventories and baselining as well as ongoing monitoring for the terrestrial, coastal and marine environment. We model and map habitats and track species using advanced remote sensing techniques with multiple data sources and ecologically driven rule bases.

Ecology

We offer a wide range of complementary services combining specialist ecological survey work with practical advice. Our work ranges from large public infrastructure projects such as wind farms and road schemes to housing projects and coastal surveys. Our team of ecologists is licensed to carry out protected species surveys for bats, great crested newts, water voles, otters etc. using the latest techniques and technology.

Our comprehensive understanding of UK wildlife legislation and planning policy has helped get numerous projects off the ground. As experienced wildlife consultants, we are used to dealing with the legal and commercial issues surrounding protected species. We guarantee a high quality service, with a strong focus on our clients who rely on us to manage their projects smoothly and produce the highest quality outputs to fulfil their requirements.
