Our forests represent more than carbon sinks—they are the lifeblood of our heritage and biodiversity. Imagine a future where the UK's verdant landscapes not only thrive but expand, bolstered by innovation and technology. We did.
What we quickly found was that progress on this front was nowhere near as fast as it needed to be so we created Glafos was to answer a simple question: “what can we do to accelerate nature recovery projects”?
Navigating the process for developing and funding woodland projects is very difficult so the logical first step was to simplify access to existing funding and information sources - the UK grants and nature recovery guidance system. We had an inkling that technology could help with this which is why we built Grant, our AI tool that is free to use.
We are continuously increasing our knowledge base and updating the AI's training to include an increasing range of funding options as well as project guidance to the pool whilst maintaining the accuracy, precision and conciseness of the advice the tool provides.
Our goal is to establish a more comprehensive advice centre that helps landowners understand their options when choosing nature recovery projects for their land, navigating grants and getting financial support for these projects.
