Groundsure Ecology Insight

Improving efficiency across ecological workflows.

One ecological baseline. Two connected ways to work.

The Eco Insight combines a structured ecological baseline report with interactive spatial mapping tools, helping ecologists access the information they need faster. Together, the Eco Insight PDF and Groundsure Explorer provide both a clear desk-based summary and the wider landscape context needed to support survey planning, site understanding, and early-stage ecological assessment.

Eco Insight Report

A structured ecological baseline report designed to support desk study preparation and Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEAs). The report summarises key ecological information within a defined study area, including:

Designated sites

Includes statutory and non-statutory ecological designations within the study area, to help identify protected sites and potential planning constraints early.

Habitats & woodland

Provides habitat classifications and woodland context to inform landscape-scale ecological understanding and support ecological assessment preparation. 

Species records

Access publicly available priority and invasive species records to help inform survey scoping and the identification of potential ecological considerations.

Site features

Review relevant site information such as access, lighting, built structures, and surrounding features that may influence survey planning and site visits.

Groundsure Explorer

An interactive online workspace providing the same ecological datasets within a mapped environment. Groundsure Explorer enables ecologists to:

Visualise data

View and interact with ecological datasets within a mapped environment, helping you quickly interpret site context, identify potential constraints and analyse information spatially.

Spatial context

Explore ecological data beyond the report boundary to better understand surrounding habitats, nearby designations, and landscape-scale constraints that may influence survey planning and ecological assessment.

Data exporting

Export mapping, ecological datasets, and site information easily to support reporting workflows, stakeholder communication, and the production of figures for ecological assessments.

Shared working

Add notes, tags, and project-specific comments to support collaboration with colleagues and stakeholders to keep ecological information organised, accessible, and easy to manage across teams.

The Eco Insight report

This Eco Insight report provides a desk-based ecological baseline to support, not replace, ecological assessment, combining multiple national datasets into a single report, alongside access to spatial data via Groundsure Explorer.

It helps ecologists quickly compile baseline data, understand site context, and identify potential constraints ahead of survey planning and fieldwork. By combining key datasets in a consistent format, it reduces time spent on data collation and allows greater focus on survey design, interpretation, and professional judgement.

The Ecology Insight will be available to purchase soon.

Ecologists: The case for moving from fragmented data sources to unified insights

Free White Paper 

Behind every ecological assessment is a significant amount of unseen work — gathering datasets, coordinating information, navigating multiple systems, and managing competing project pressures.

This white paper explores how fragmented workflows can slow down ecological projects, and how unified data and collaborative tools can improve planning, site understanding, and workflow efficiency before fieldwork begins.
