Land cover map

Land Cover Map 2015 (LCM2015), released in April 2017, is the land cover map from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. It is derived from satellite images and digital cartography and gives land cover information for the entire UK. Land cover is based on UK Biodiversity Action Plan Broad Habitats.

This map presents crowdsourced data validating the CEH Land Cover Map 2015 from users of the UK Soil Observatory and the mySoil mobile app. This citizen science dataset focuses on the United Kingdom.

Points on the map indicate locations where records validating the CEH Land Cover Map 2015 have been submitted. Links through to access these records and any photographs are provided.

It is hoped that these crowdsourced records can be used to validate and improve our own data holdings and lead to the creation of new community data products.
