Celebrating World GIS Day 2025: Start Your Free Trial of PearGIS!

Today, on World GIS Day, we celebrate the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS): the technology that links data with location to create powerful, visual maps. For tree surveyors, land and property managers, and local councils across the UK, GIS is no longer a luxury but an indispensable tool for smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable management.

We encourage you to start your free trial of PearGIS today and experience how Pear Technology’s tailored mapping software can transform your day-to-day operations.

PearGIS For Tree Surveyors

  • Accurate Data Capture

    PearGIS enables the plotting of tree locations directly onto a map using GPS coordinates. Tree locations and information can be plotted by importing compatible data, entering coordinates manually or by plotting freehand onto an accurate Ordnance Survey map.

  • Risk and Condition Mapping

    You can record vital information like species, condition, canopy spread, and potential risks and visualise it on a map using colour-coding to quickly identify and prioritise necessary works.

  • BS5837 Compliance

    Trees are plotted complete with accurate root protection areas (RPAs) and tree constraint plans, essential for planning applications.

PearGIS For Land and Property Managers

  • Mapping Boundaries

    Use drawing and measuring tools to quickly delineate new or changing boundaries in support of managing your portfolio.

  • Strategic Planning

    Stream Government Datasets (Environment Agency, Natural England, British Geological Survey and more) to make informed decisions on development, maintenance, and land use change.

  • Linking Data to Location

    Seamlessly link your map to external data sources (like Excel, Access, or dedicated property management software such as Landmark‘s KeyPrime), instantly visualising ownership, cropping data, or maintenance records against the relevant land parcel.

PearGIS For Local Councils

  • Managing Boundaries

    Quickly and accurately plot council owned land to easily identify boundaries. Additionally, you can add multiple layers to show land owned by neighbouring organisations or parcels under lease, providing a clear map for administrative and planning needs.

  • Tree Management

    PearGIS is able to import tree surveys in a compatible format. Use PearGIS’s filter style tool to colour code the map to show tree health, maturity, type (and more) to proactively manage risks and monitor the health of the public tree stock. Manage and visualise Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and Conservation Areas.

  • Asset Management

    Plot council assets such as litter bins, streetlights, benches, bus shelters, noticeboards, flower beds and more.
