Senus provides a full farm habitat map in digital formats for easy submission to the Scottish government under the Whole Farm Plan programme. We use the full list of required habitats and linear features recommended by NatureScot for habitat mapping. Broad categories include: cropped land, grassland, wetland, woodland, coastal, upland and peatland, designated/historic sites, linear features and point habitats.
This tool includes a unique “suggestion” feature where the farmer or advisor can place notes on the maps to suggest changes. The final outcome is an accurate habitat map in Picture (png) or Geospatial (Shape file) format for submission to the Scottish Government.
