Analysis and mapping to identify existing Nature Networks and priorities for enhancement of Nature Networks in the National Park

Tender description

Analysis and mapping to identify existing Nature Networks and priorities for enhancement of Nature Networks in the National Park Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority wish to appoint a consultancy to undertake gis analysis of available datasets to produce engaging spatial outputs. The outputs should include mapping highlighting where the existing nature networks are within the National Park and highlight where the key strategic opportunities are for enhancement that will address any ecological connectivity gaps identified. As part of the opportunity maps we would also like scenario mapping to be undertaken to show the implications of potential changes in land use needed to deliver the National Park ambitions. The output maps should be supported by a detailed report clearly explaining the approach and methodology that has been applied in creating the mapping. As part of the initial sift of datasets there will be a need to undertake a limited amount of desktop strategy review work to understand the current priorities.
