What's new? August 2025 - custom species cost & density

Estimating the costs of your planting plans just got easier. This month, we’ve released custom species with default establishment costs and planting densities to help you get from planning to trees in the ground a little faster. Plus a few extra tools to tidy things up and improve visibility.

• Species cost and density customisation

• Register faster and with fewer mistakes

• New Historic LINZ Basemaps

• CAA Summary Table

• Details Panel Shuffle

• Can now bulk include/exclude

• Search by holding account number

• Syncing status

• Polygons are now filterable on the map page

• Filter by permanent, averaging or stock change.

• Bug Fixes

New Features

More species customisation

If you’re often planning a similar planting regime, you can use default settings to shortcut entering the density and establishment costs each time.

Add default costs and densities to a custom species profile in the company settings and it will flow through to every property and every polygon you’re working with. Less data entry, more accurate planting cost estimates.

Register faster and with fewer mistakes

We’ve identified some of the most common mistakes users make when registering in the ETS, and now automatically detect them. For example:

• Polygon is under 1 ha

• Polygon is <30m wide

• Tree species not specified or eligible

• … and more!

These warnings are shown in one place, and grouped by polygon. Click to fly to that polygon.

Additionally, to avoid being flooded with warnings, the system only shows them for polygons intended to be registered in the ETS.

Warnings for the most common ETS mistakes

New Historic LINZ Basemaps

LINZ recently created full country Pre-90 and Post-89 maps. These can now be found in our platform.

CAA Summary Table

See a list of all your CAAs and their details

Details Panel Shuffle

We’ve moved a few fields in the details panel:

• Establishment method is now under the planting details

• Grant funding details is it’s own section

• Land Activity Type is now underneath holding account details - at the site level

Can now bulk include/exclude

Want to remove a bunch of polygons from financials? You no longer have to exclude them one-by-one

Search by holding account number

Type the holding account number into the sites search box, and you’ll find all sites with that account number.

Syncing status

Not everyone has an amazing internet connection! If the platform fails to auto-save, we will now indicate this at the top left of your screen and let you retry.

Carbon Intelligence and accounting methods

Filter by permanent, averaging or stock change.
