Together for your place-based projects

We make open-source tools that empower communities to highlight local places and initiatives.

How it works

Create or join a team

We offer a flexible team setup with custom access rights for small and large projects.

Gather project data

Use surveys for crowd-sourced projects, import data you already have, or craft your maps from scratch. Engage with your community throughout this process through newsletters and events.

Review and refine

Your team can moderate all project data or involve the community to validate and improve initial input.

Publish the map and project

Share and interact with your audience to create positive action within the community.

Benefits

Easy to use

Our tools are designed to be user-friendly. You don’t need to be a GIS expert to start your project or create a map.

Own your data

We do not exploit your data for commercial gain. We collect and share mapping data on your terms, and you can choose the licenses that apply to your project data.

Versatile

We recognise that each project is unique, and we want to empower communities to address local challenges and find solutions which work locally. This is why the tools we create are customisable, adaptable, and work across domains. Whether you need to monitor water quality, track wild bee colonies, map heritage sites, or draft sustainable town plans, we have you covered.

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.
