Using the New HNV Viewer
We’ve had a few queries on the new HNV viewer.
Here’s a short video explaining how to use the viewer.
Technical details can be found in our Journal of Maps article.
New National Map of High Nature Value farmland in Ireland now on-line
One of the outputs of the HNV project was creating a national HNV indicator map for Ireland.
This digital map is now on line, on the Teagasc map viewer.
The map is shows the likelihood of finding HNV farmland in an ED, with 5 being almost certain to find HNV and 1 being almost certain not to find HNV.
Technical details can be found on the map construction are published in the Journal of Maps:

Mapping Work at Earth Observation Symposium
Some of the satellite mapping within the IdealHNV project was presented at the Irish Earth Observation Symposium in Galway last Month. The presentation can be found here: SMartin_IEOS15_Day1_Ses1.pptx.
