"The RSPB have recently adopted The Land App as its default go-to program for the RSPB's property professionals mapping needs. The Team is excited to explore the full features of the Land App with a particular focus on what the software can do to make applications and claims within Countryside Stewardship and its future replacement schemes, bringing us greater efficiencies."

Elizabeth Bridge MRICS, Senior Rural Surveyor, RSPB

"The Integration API has been a game-changer for our land management team. It has enabled us to connect our Land App data with our existing ArcGIS platform, allowing us to perform complex analyses and generate detailed reports with ease. It has saved us a significant amount of time and effort, and has greatly improved our overall productivity."

Sarah Jane Chimbwandira, CEO, Surrey Wildlife Trust

"The Team at Brooks Leney have been using the Land App since the early days of its roll out. We find it an invaluable tool in advising our clients, whether it be relating to Countryside Stewardship and BPS schemes, valuations, land sales or assessing natural capital potential on holdings. The functionality of the Land App has developed significantly since its roll out. Features such as being able to share maps on-line with clients and other collaborative organisations are invaluable. The Land App is now our go to mapping programme within the Brooks Leney Team."
