Prospective

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) have a requirement to procure Soil Surveys to meet our requirement to manage the National Forest Estate. Survey requirements under this Framework Agreement may include: - Standard Surveys including Site/Soil/Peat Depth Surveys of afforested, clear felled, open land and ex-agricultural land (please note a very large proportion will be either afforested or clear-fell); - Non-Standard Surveys including, but not limited to: * Bespoke type of soil survey e.g. peat depth probing; or * Assessment of newly acquired land including possibly reclaimed land such as old mine works. For each survey, you will be required to: - Record the site/soil patterns and associated specific data, using the FC soil classification; - Map Soil Polygons and associated linear and point data in a digital format; - Peat Depths to be recorded in the Peat Depth layer via supplied digital layer (currently via ESRI Fieldmaps). Access to which, plus any necessary training to use the app, will be provided by FLS. - Deliver all data outputs from the survey, as specific digital GIS format directly into Foresterweb (a bespoke version of GIS Forester), together with associated attribute; and - Producing written reports for each site.
