Winter may be over but we're layering up! We’ve added a bunch of new data layers to our platform to help with forestry, conservation and soil erosion management.
New Features
New layer: Waterways
This layer sourced from LINZ shows streams, rivers and lakes. Useful for planning riparian planting, or ensuring waterway setbacks inline with resource management regulations.

New layer: Fish Spawning Indicator
This layer provided to us by the NES-PF (National Environmental Standards for Commercial Forestry) indicates where fish are spawning, use this to help plan forestry activities.
New layer: Erosion Susceptibility Indicator
Also from NES-PF, the Erosion Susceptibility Classification (ESC) is used to identify the erosion risk of land as a basis for determining where a plantation forestry activity requires resource consent.
New layer: QEII Covenanted Land
The QEII national trust protects species including the nationally critical kakī or black stilt, the world’s rarest penguin the hoiho, and our rarest kiwi, the rowi. This layer shows where QEII covenants exist.
New Layer: Powerlines
Powerlines pose limits for establishing forests. Get shockingly good insights into where the powerlines run on your land so you can plan and manage your forests with ease.
New Layers: Land Use Capability (LUC)
The land use capability system classifies land by productivity and is provided by Landcare Research.
Bug Fixes
“Go to problematic feature” button in the warnings tab now works again
To reduce confusion, we aligned our reporting years for carbon intelligence, land reports, and site level graphs. Now for example, “2024 carbon” always refers to the carbon sequestered in that year. This carbon can be claimed from the start of the year after.
Copying a share link for the registered area report, land assessment report or for FieldScan now just copies the link text.
Stay tuned for more updates next month!
