//We are pleased to announce that the Land Cover Map 2024 version is now available through Environment Digimap. This is an update to the previous versions, available under the Data Download tab, for download only. The LCM data follows previous years in providing an uninterrupted national dataset of land cover classes from grassland, woodland and fresh water to urban and suburban built-up areas. The Land Cover Map data can be used to plan, manage or monitor agriculture, ecology, conservation, forestry, environmental assessment, water supplies, urban spread, transport, telecommunications, recreation and mineral extraction. It is particularly useful when combined with other datasets. The land cover data can be used to examine the coincidence of a given species with particular land cover types, make assessments of habitats at risk from a specific development, or look at national distributions of land cover types and how it is affected by other environmental and human factors.
//We are excited to announce the upcoming Aerial Collection webinar, featuring Getmapping: Digimap Datasets, presented by David Philpot, Content Programs Project Manager at Getmapping Ltd. This session will cover valuable datasets available through Digimap, including colour infrared (CIR) imagery, used for vegetation analysis and environmental studies, as well as 5cm data, a high-resolution dataset ideal for mapping and surveying projects.
