Using a combination of state-of-the-art drones and ground-truthing, our qualified ecologists and licensed drone pilots are able to accurately map baseline data and complicated habitat mosaics for developments, nature reserves and rewilding projects.
The drone’s flight planning function also means that transects can be repeated annually to monitor habitat changes over time.
Using a combination of multi spectral drones and 3D imagery we are able to accurately map the rate of natural regeneration and/or the location and extent of invasive tree species.
These techniques are valuable tools for monitoring the progress of rewilding projects or managing the encroachment of non-native conifers and scrub on vulnerable habitats such as raised bog, blanket bog or upland heath.
The drone’s flight planning function means that transects can be repeated annually to monitor any changes in the extent tree regeneration from year to year.
Albatross Drones use state-of-the-art drones to locate and map areas of forest windblow damage that cannot be easily accessed from the ground.
A Phase One Habitat Survey is a standardised system for classifying and mapping wildlife habitats. We use a combination of ecologists on the ground and mapping drones to establish accurate baseline data on all habitats present within the footprint of a proposed development.
