    “Britain's map has changed a lot over the years - and so has the way it's made.
    Meet Brian and Will, OS Surveyors from different generations, sharing how surveying has evolved and what it means to help map Great Britain. Here's part one of their story.
    From long days in the field with paper maps and handwritten notes to modern GPS and digital technology, surveying has come a long way. But one thing hasn't changed: the people behind the map…”
    --
    “Will's grandfather Brian helped map Britain. Today, Will does the same job with very different technology.
    Together, they reflect on their careers as Ordnance Survey surveyors, sharing stories from different eras of surveying.
    From paper field books to GPS and digital mapping, discover how surveying has evolved, how maps are made, and the technology behind the data millions rely on every day.
    Whether you're interested in mapping, surveying, geography, cartography, or the history of Ordnance Survey, this is a fascinating insight into the people and processes that help put Britain on the map…”

    “Most of us use maps to find places. Farmers in Scotland are now using them to help restore nature. 🌿
    A new tool from NatureScot powered by Ordnance Survey data, is being tested with farmers and crofters and helps them map habitats, record wildlife observations and track biodiversity improvements across their land.
    By turning trusted location data into practical insights, FarmBioScot makes it easier to understand the environmental value of the land they manage, support nature recovery and meet requirements for The Scottish Government support schemes.

The new platform, powered by Ordnance Survey (OS) data, will also make it easier for them to meet requirements for government support schemes.
    Farm Biodiversity Scotland (FarmBioScot) enables users to map habitats, record wildlife observations and track biodiversity improvements on their land through a simple platform, available via both app and web. The tool supports the Scottish Government’s wider ambitions to restore nature while helping farmers demonstrate the environmental value of the land they manage…”
