Tree mapping recommendations.

[Paulie]

Hi all.

I am getting prepared for starting tree surveys as I sit my PTI next month. 

I have a large survey coming up incorporating over 175 acres.

I was wondering which maps people use to plot out new trees and plantations?

Google maps/earth seems pretty limited and poor quality for larger areas and OS is eye-wateringly expensive for the map I need.  

Does anybody have any recommendations as to what they use? and prices too?

Let me know.

 

Many thanks.

Paul.

Have you looked at the 3rd party mapping sites - I've used emapsite and 1km squares are less than £20 last time I looked. I think they have the tree survey mapping too

Depends what software you are using. OS Vectormap in CAD is dirt cheap but lacks fine detail, I have used it for large rural estates. Mastermap usually out of the question for anything big.
