Cumbria Wildlife Trust is using digital aerial mapping
technology to protect wildlife in one of Britain's areas of
outstanding natural beauty. The trust is using GeoPerspectives
photomap digital imagery, which covers the entire county of
Cumbria.
The
aerial imagery is helping the trust with the identification and
management of sites of interest. The imagery will be used in the
trust's geographical information system (GIS) to help it make
decisions on local authority planning applications.
