Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Shepherd Ecological integrates GIS into workflows at every stage of the project to maximise accuracy and efficiency, and to communicate spatial information through the creation of mapping products.

Shepherd Ecological can undertake GIS analysis and produce high-quality maps and plans including large format (A0) plans, habitat connectivity mapping, detailed mapping of biodiversity features, and ranking analysis for spatial prioritisation.

Shepherd Ecological uses photomosaic technology for the creation of ultra-high resolution vertical aerial imagery using a drone and associated software. When integrated into a GIS and combined with ecological expertise, photomosaics can be used to accurately map vegetation and other ecological features through photo-interpretation and analysis.
