LandExplorer is getting refreshed data and new features this year. It'll stay free and we're adding a paid tier so the groups who can pay fund development for the groups who can't. Crowdfunder mid-2026.

Our May newsletter is out and it's a big one: we're launching a crowdfunder in June to support the next phase of LandExplorer. The free tier will stay + the paid tier will fund the work and gives better-resourced orgs API access and data exports. Supporters get a direct say in what we build first!
