Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has a requirement to procure a number of soil surveys to meet our requirement to manage the national forest estate.
Survey requirements procured through this Framework include;
– Site/soil surveys of afforested, clear felled, open land and ex-agricultural land.
– Recording the site/soil patterns and associated specific data, using the FC soil classification.
– Mapping Soil Polygons and associated linear and point data in a digital format.
– Delivering all data outputs from the survey, as specific format GIS themes (currently a bespoke version of GIS Forester), together with associated attribute tables.
– Producing written reports for each site
– Bespoke type of soil survey e.g. Detailed mapping of peatland types in a mosaic and peat depth probing
– Assessment of newly acquired land including possibly reclaimed land such as old mine works.
