From Owletts Farm
Owletts Ecology
The landscape analysis we built for our own farm — now available for yours.
Draw a catchment. Get hydrology, habitat maps, flood models, and BNG metrics — in minutes, not months.
Owletts Ecology has been developed on our own farm as part of a NEIRF-funded project across 700 acres of the Upper Medway valley. It's under continuous development — we built it because we needed it, and we think others might find it useful too. We welcome input.
Hydrology
D8 flow routing, stream networks, TWI, HAND, depression hierarchy, and 2D flood modelling — all from 50cm LiDAR.
Habitat Analysis
Priority habitat mapping, BNG metric 4.0, beaver dam capacity, groundwater modelling, and wetland classification.
Flood Management
Leaky dam cascades, bund and scrape interventions, upstream inundation analysis, and FEH22 design storm scenarios.
Collaborate with Your Neighbours
Incorporate details of neighbouring land holdings across which nature flows.
How It Works
- Draw your catchment — define the study area on an interactive map.
- Submit analysis — we download national datasets, process terrain, and run the models automatically.
- View results — interactive maps, site reports, and downloadable GIS data ready for planning submissions.
Who It's For
Farmers & Land Managers
Understand your land's hydrology and habitat potential before you talk to consultants. Know your land better than anyone.
Ecology Consultants
Accelerate desk studies. Generate baseline hydrology and habitat data in minutes — so you can focus on the fieldwork that matters.
Conservation Organisations
Identify intervention sites across entire catchments. Model NFM cascades and quantify BNG at landscape scale.
