Field notes
The free tools accept pasted data for several distinct tasks: species counts, coordinate columns, JPEG files, and individual-tree measurements. The site says the survey app can store records offline, encrypt them on the phone, and sync when connectivity returns; office staff can review records in a browser. The homepage also distinguishes environmental-assessment work from other project types when discussing the revised rules taking effect in December 2026.
