Our latest work saw us high up in the hills above Ballater, Commissioned by the Cairngorm National Park Authority to survey, map and model a very remote part of their estate, circa 300Ha for an upcoming Peatland Restoration project.

Peatlands are a unique and important ecosystem, covering approximately 3% of the earth's surface and containing approximately 30% of the world's soil carbon. However, due to factors such as agriculture, forestry, and mining, peatlands have been severely degraded, leading to negative impacts on the environment and climate change. Restoration of degraded peatlands is essential to mitigate these impacts and ensure the continued functioning of this ecosystem. The use of drones for peatland restoration has emerged as a promising approach to help in the restoration process.
