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.
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
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
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
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
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.
