The UKHab Survey App is trusted by ecologists
“The UKHab Survey App is an easy-to-use, intuitive tool for habitat surveying. The flexibility of the drawing options is key to being able to record accurate data in the field. Assignment of habitat categories follows a logical flow of decision screens with the UKHab hierarchy fully embedded. We see a multitude of applications for the app in terms of Environment Act 2021 duties, planning, through Biodiversity Net Gain and habitat condition monitoring.”
Sam Neal, Norfolk Biodiversity Information Service Norfolk County Council
“This will be an absolute game-changer for ecological field surveyors and is likely to become the industry standard for UKHab data collection.”
Emily D, Senior Ecologist at a major UK multi-disciplinary environmental consultancy
