About RegenGIS

RegenGIS helps regenerative landscape designers make clearer land-use decisions from spatial analysis.

RegenGIS is building an open approach to regenerative landscape design.

It helps designers, advisors, and land stewards read water, terrain, soil, microclimate, and spatial constraints before they commit to planting, layout, access, or earthworks.

The goal is to make important design choices more explicit, more defensible, and easier to communicate.

What RegenGIS does

RegenGIS helps translate landscape analysis into practical design reasoning.

It is not just about producing maps. It is about using spatial evidence to support real decisions such as:

  • where water should be slowed, stored, or safely passed through

  • which parts of a site are better suited to production, restoration, access, or lighter intervention

  • where slope, exposure, and moisture create opportunity or risk

  • how alternative layouts can be compared before money and labour are committed

What kind of decisions this supports

RegenGIS is built for the kinds of questions regenerative designers actually face:

  • where access should follow the land, and where it creates erosion or maintenance problems

  • where planting zones are warmer, wetter, drier, more exposed, or easier to manage

  • where water harvesting interventions may fit the site, and where they may create risk

  • where restoration should come before production

  • how different strategies compare once the landscape structure becomes visible

Who RegenGIS is for

RegenGIS is built first for people working with real land-use decisions:

  • regenerative landscape designers

  • agroforestry and food forest practitioners

  • advisors and project leads

  • land stewards working with complex sites

  • organisations that need to explain design choices to partners, funders, or public bodies

What RegenGIS includes

RegenGIS is developing a practical ecosystem around this approach:

  • a design method for moving from site analysis to design choice

  • a QGIS plugin for terrain, hydrology, moisture, and microclimate analysis

  • examples and workflows for comparing design scenarios

  • learning resources for using GIS in regenerative design practice

Why this matters

Too many landscape decisions remain intuitive, hard to explain, and difficult to reuse across projects.

RegenGIS is an attempt to make regenerative design practice more explicit, more learnable, and more grounded in how land actually works.
