Easy and affordable tool for remote monitoring of conservation lands
Conservation and environmental protection have never been more important. Lens empowers conservation managers and stewards with high-resolution aerial imagery and cutting edge tools to make informed and timely decisions about the lands they protect, driving impactful outcomes with heightened efficiency.
“Lens has been an absolute game changer for The Trustees to manage our 20,000+ acres of statewide conservation restrictions, alert us to structural & development changes and help improve the focus of boots on the ground visits.”
Sally Naser, The Trustees of Reservations
Lens was designed to make the best-available data accessible for conservation organizations of any size.
In 2019, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) became a bold early adopter of Lens and together we iterated on a solution that has set new standards for remote monitoring of conserved land.
TNC Chapters saved 57% of staff time on monitoring using Lens.
TNC had an average of 28% cost savings compared to traditional monitoring practices.
The platform has been essential for our stewardship staff and increases our efficiencies for ensuring 100% monitoring. The Upstream staff have been great to work with and are clearly committed to the success of land trusts.
