Tree Species Map England

The England species map was funded by DEFRA’s Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) programme. The map was created using satellite remote sensing data (Sentinel-2) and machine learning to classify common tree species in England. The model was trained to distinguish 35 common tree species, with minority species grouped into “Other broadleaf” or “Other conifer” classes for better classification performance. The final product comprises a species classification and confidence raster output
