The Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre Partnership wanted to mobilise biodiversity information and encourage greater participation in wildlife recording. An IT development plan was required before a full bid could be made to the Heritage Grants Programme. This involved liaising with contributors and the production of a costed plan.
We facilitated a management planning workshop to prepare a CMS plan for the Topla Landscape Park. Topla is a small alpine valley in northern Slovenia and has many SAC and SPA features including beech forests, capercaillie, black grouse and pygmy owls.
Devon County Council asked exeGesIS to calculate the gradients along their Rights of Way network. This would inform decisions about accessibility and the availability of the network for different users, and particularly targeting resources in order to improve accessibility.
exeGesIS used a GIS model to predict the effects of disturbance from visual stimuli on nesting stone curlew Burhinus oedicnemus. This was used to map and graph the effects of different disturbances on the birds and identify the best areas to undertake habitat management to encourage nesting.
The Pond Conservation Trust commissioned exeGesIS to develop a database for pond survey data, recruit information of relevance, create an inventory of ponds in the UK, enable online collection of pond information from members of the public and present pond information online.
exeGesIS has undertaken 25,000 km of PROW survey and have a network of trained and experienced path surveyors. One of our largest contracts was a 100% survey of the 4,500km network of paths in Cornwall.
exeGesIS developed data input and verification software that could be run from within the user's standard GIS interface. This ensured that English Nature's habitat inventories could be amalgamated quickly and efficiently, and standardised the data attributes. Support and training for the system was provided by exeGesIS.
