Green Map Platform

Our versatile mapping platform is designed for collaboration and ease of use. In no time, you will have a great Green Map made for and with your community!

The Green Map Platform is designed for community mapmakers - it’s great for more complex projects too. The Platform enables people to work in a team to co-create, publish and distribute Green Maps digitally. It’s got great features, like import and export, add your own icons - see the list below.

Unlike other online mapping platforms, ours is built with communities, collaboration, and a shared mission to tackle climate change and social injustice in mind. Mapmakers can create data-collecting Surveys and invite wider participation, too.

The Platform is free, flexible, and easy to use:

• Explore takes you directly to the maps made on the Platform.
• You can get started right now with our easy OnePager and the Quick Start Guide.
• Our Blog has great examples of how the Platform has transformed the process of mapmaking and made the data useful in diverse settings, too.
• Resources & Tools includes icons, books, and lots more about the practice of Green Mapmaking - there’s an FAQ and more under the Resource menu. 
• If you need help, there are monthly open office hours (generally on the first Wednesday at 11 ET), please check our social media to RSVP.
• Yes, you can help support the Platform with a subscription.
• Need advanced customisation, an app or bespoke design and training. The Platform team works with a range of fee paying clients including grant-funded community groups, networks and research projects creating outcomes like Grow Dundee, with its garden map, events, and volunteering; or Dig Venture’s global lighthouse mapping project.   

So much versatility!
