myForest Packages

myForest will soon be available in three flavours, or Packages.

For more information about the change, see our blog post at the Sylva website, "A new chapter for myForest".

You can also read our Packages FAQs.

For a glossary explaining the meaning of specialist terms used in myForest visit myForest Glossary.

The free Basic Package provides limited functionality for digital mapping, storing woodland data, producing basic printed maps and writing plans for a single property.

The Advanced Package provides all the additional functionality for managing a single property in myForest including more data layers, OS base maps, property sharing and a full range of outputs including customisable printed maps.

The Professional Package offers everything included in Advanced plus multi-property management. Three active properties are included in the base subscription allowance with additional slots available to purchase. You can have an unlimited number of properties in your account and only pay for the ones you need to access from one year to the next - your active properties.

As an environmental charity, your subscription supports the maintenance and continual development of the powerful and effective myForest technology in the long term. We continue to consult with partners and users to ensure our service is reasonable and prudent, and is in line with the delivery of our charitable objects and other public outcomes.

Downloading/Printing OS maps (Advanced and Professional only)

When you download a map from myForest with an OS background, we may need to pay a royalty to OS and therefore we need to pass this on. myForest selects the most appropriate OS background map for the scale you are printing at.

We will always show you the cost of downloading a map before you download it.

Scales smaller than 1:3500 (eg. 1:10000) use OS OpenData and are free.

Scales of 1:3500 and above (eg. 1:2500) use OS MasterMap Topography and are charged as follows:

Band Amount (per hectare)
1st hectare £5.68
The next 24 hectares £0.69
Each subsequent hectare £0.05

Hectares Cost
1 £5.48
5 £8.15
