PORTOFOLIO

OUR MAPPING PLATFORM

Built for communities to create, share, and manage maps with ease.

Grow Dundee Website

We worked together with Dundee-based Maxwell Community Center and Garden to help them support food growing and community garden projects. Using our website builder, they now promote local food growing initiatives, along with events and volunteer opportunities.

Meyrin Durable Green Map Website

The Meyrin Durable association in Switzerland used the website builder we provide through the Green Map platform to promote their project that maps green spaces locally.

Honey Bee Watch is a global citizen science study that seeks to better understand the traits of survivorship among untreated and free-living colonies. Starting with a UK-based pilot focused on Apis mellifera, we’ll expand into new regions and include all 10+ Apis species.

Our aim is to increase scientific knowledge about these species, potentially leading to more sustainable beekeeping practices. We also aim to develop educational programs and conservation initiatives that engage and inspire the wider public to act locally to protect threatened or endangered populations.
