NTM+™ 

Bluesky’s NTM+™  is a new product designed to offer users richer, more contextual and current tree intelligence than ever before. An insightful dataset for sectors including local government, utilities, insurance, and property sectors, NTM+™ analyses the surrounding landscapes and features of each tree. Each mapped tree is now linked to detailed contextual data that can be applied to specifically support and enhance projects.

Using 13 years of expertise in tree mapping, Bluesky have developed NTM+™  to directly address industry pain points, reducing project time, increasing precision, and delivering immediate, actionable insight, transforming how our trees are mapped, monitored, and managed.

NTM+™  delivers intelligence to customer desktops that includes:

  • Location: nearest UPRN, postcode, LSOA, district, and county
  • Conservation: SSSI, AONB, SAC, National Park, or Greenbelt designations
  • Land Use: residential, industrial, agricultural, and more
  • Soils & Agriculture: soil type, drainage, and ALC grade

Bluesky’s NTM is created using proprietary algorithms and processing techniques that use our high resolution national aerial photography, terrain and surface data, and colour infrared imagery. The data is updated regularly as part of our cyclic aerial imagery capture and update programme 

No other tree map product available on the market can match us for coverage and currency.
