Helping Organisations to Link Trees and Woodlands to a Physical Emissions Reduction and Net-Zero Strategy
Combating climate change requires achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. To do so, quantify your transition to net zero by incorporating the green infrastructure’s measured carbon capture potential.
Governments and industries face mounting pressure to provide evidence of emissions reductions through accurate, quantitative carbon offset reports.
Mapscape’s digital mapping solution supports carbon reduction planning and sustainability reporting. Our software enables estimated quantification of the carbon sequestration potential of trees, tree groups (Tree trunks) and hedgerows, allowing confident reporting on natural capital.
Provides a measured Carbon calculation system.
With detailed reports on current carbon stock and future uptake, our tool helps optimise land for carbon sequestration, whether existing green spaces or planned transformations.
Beyond carbon capture, Mapscape enhances biodiversity, supports nature recovery, improves air quality, and delivers social benefits through trees and hedgerows.
Produces Automated Spreadsheet Reports
Agricultural land owners
Ensure sustainable land use while meeting the increasing demand for carbon-neutral farming practices. Agricultural businesses can optimise their land management strategies to boost biodiversity and enhance carbon sequestration by assessing the carbon storage of trees and hedgerows.
In Collaboration With
Who is Mapscape for
Local authorities and organisations
Owners of large tree stocks are key to reducing their environmental footprint. Our green infrastructure carbon measuring tool offers automated reports on carbon storage in trees and hedgerows, projected to 2050, for use in carbon reduction and offsetting strategies.
Housing and developments
Utilise your natural green infrastructure by assessing trees’ and hedgerows’ current and future carbon potential while improving wellbeing, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
Decarbonising industries
Businesses looking to transition to net-zero responsibly can use Mapscape to identify areas where current and new trees and hedgerows can contribute to offsetting carbon dioxide emissions from other activities.
How it Works
1. Input onsite data
Use your mobile device to collect the required tree/hedge measurements and tree species information for the carbon calculations as part of the tree survey process.
2. Let technology do the carbon calculations for you
Once you enter the tree survey onsite, Mapscape automatically calculates the carbon storage estimates (Trunk only) for any BS 5837 or Tree Risk Management tree survey scale.
3. Automated spreadsheet reporting
Generate a quantitative carbon Excel storage report that informs you of the current carbon stock in trees and hedges at the time of the tree survey and projects this value (Metric tonnes) in 5-year increments to 2050.
4. Graphs and Visualisations
Your automated spreadsheet report that estimates the carbon sequestration in tree trunks and hedges, will soon include graphs and visualisations for quick reference for carbon data analysis based on real measurements.
Keeping it standard
Mapscape provides scientifically backed carbon estimations using data from the Global Wood Density Database and industry-standard methods for calculating stem carbon stock.
Our projections of future carbon sequestration are supported by growth rate data from i-Tree, a peer-reviewed tree quantification tool from the USDA Forest Service.
