Bluesky National Tree Map V2 - sample image

Bluesky National Tree Map™ V2 is a vector database of trees created from high-resolution aerial photography, terrain and surface data, and colour infrared imagery data. It provides a comprehensive database of tree location, height and canopy/crown extents for trees above 3m in height across the whole of England, Wales and Scotland. The product is compatible with Ordnance Survey products and can be combined with other Bluesky products to make 3D visualisations.

Bluesky’s National Tree Map™ V2 provides a representation of how trees relate spatially to the built and natural environments around them and the hazards they pose. Onscreen visualisation provides insight relating to existence, size and position of trees for improved situational awareness and/or the need for additional field data collection. It is updated regularly as new aerial photography becomes available, ensuring that it remains the most detailed, comprehensive and up-to-date tree map.

Bluesky National Tree Map™ V2 represents a cost-effective solution for custodians responsible for the effective management of trees.  It is also useful for

- planning and development strategies to help prevent loss of or damage to ancient woodland and trees and their uniquely rich biodiversity and public sector bodies with environmental obligations; 
- informing lenders and insurers of potential subsidence risks posed by trees to buildings and other assets (tree proximity, tree roots and drying out soils);
- identifying if trees might represent a hazard to health and safety or hamper operational activities (e.g.  railways, traffic management, routing of high-sided vehicles, road and building maintenance, siting of mobile phone masts, site development);
- assisting facilities managers with a grounds maintenance responsibility.
