Feature Mapping

For an overview of mapping for Woodland Creation and Management in myForest, visit Woodland Creation & Management Mapping Overview

Features can consist of lines, points or polygons. You can use them to represent anything to do with your woodland management that can be mapped. Access tracks, individual veteran trees and ponds are examples of the three Feature Types.

The same principles apply to mapping or digitising all Feature Types.

You can map Features by drawing directly on the map with your mouse, or by importing geospatial files.

Once you have mapped a Feature, you can edit the points, lines and boundaries using your mouse to add, delete and move vertices, and use snapping to ensure adjoining Mapping Components line up correctly.

You can also add Cutouts and Buffers to your Feature Mapping.
