What an inspiring trip to the South Downs National Park so welcoming and truly breathtaking. I had the chance to discuss how #MapReader can help create digital records of past landscapes to inform landscape decision-making. So much potential to connect history with the future of our environment!

Using computer vision and #MapReader software, we analysed the loss of field boundaries across the #PeakDistrict Since the 1950s, the White Peak has seen a 12% reduction-551 km lost from an original 4,814 km. A stark reminder of landscape change 📊🌿 storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5c89... #maps #GIS
