UAV Surveys

The staff at Wetland Surveys have extensive experience undertaking UAV surveys to facilitate mapping and nature conservation projects in Ireland. This includes experience working on behalf of Environmental Non-governmental Organisations (ENGOs), government departments, semi-state organizations, local environmental groups and private individuals.

To demonstrate our experience in this area a selection of recent projects that we have worked on is presented below.
