Hedgerows do more than mark boundaries - they prevent soil erosion and support wildlife. 🌿

For Day 27 of #30DayMapChallenge - Boundaries, Production Consultant Thomas Bristow maps hedgerow density across GB using OS NGD Field Boundaries & Local Authority data.

The UK has 500,000 kilometres of rural road verges PLUS urban ones!

57 plant species were found on 1 visit to 2 Km of road verge on the urban fringe yesterday along with a range of insects

Share this if YOU want ALL councils to SAVE money AND British Nature! #MeadowManagement

Very pleased to have championed the roll out of our biodiversity strategy this year.
As part of our monitoring we used iNaturalist to involve colleagues in our biodiversity work. In true OS style, here’s a map of the observations made so far!

[Ordnance Survey @OrdnanceSurvey]

As part of biodiversity work here at OS, we regularly monitor the local #wildlife near our HQ - Explorer House. 🌿

OS Remote Sensing Surveyor Thomas Bristow created this dataviz for #30DayMapChallenge, Day 20 - Outdoors to showcase some of the sightings.

The scale of the fires currently burning across northern Australia is pretty unfathomable.

This animation visualises just the last two months of fire captured by #DEAHotspots - for context, the map covers an area larger than France, Spain and Germany combined...
