What is Sketch?
Our Sketch tool is a user-friendly interface that allows you to create visual representations of your land management projects effortlessly. Whether you’re planning a renewable energy installation, exploring habitat restoration initiatives, or demonstrating multiple benefits from your existing assets, the Sketch tool is your digital canvas for innovation.
Each project’s Sketch is the centrepiece for collaboration, providing a clear and engaging way to present ideas to stakeholders and find relevant partners (using our soon-to-launch Network).
Key Features:
- Easy-to-Use Interface: No technical expertise required! Our intuitive platform lets you plot your ideas quickly and efficiently.
- Instant Value Projections: Get immediate estimates of the potential benefits and monetary value of your projects as you sketch.
- Customizable Options: Tailor your sketches to match your unique project requirements with a range of customizable features.
- Seamless Integration: Your Sketch will become a key asset on your journey, linked to our wider platform for exploring opportunities, reaching supporters, identifying funding sources, and more.
