❄️🌱 Season’s greetings from #EUGW 🌱❄️
As grasslands across Europe enter winter dormancy, our team has been hard at work preparing the service for its 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ launch!
Check out recent highlights, policy developments shaping grassland monitoring, key events, & more: www.linkedin.com/pulse/eugw-n...
🗺 Copernicus Land Service High-Resolution Layers updates are live!
➡ New Croplands product and improved #Grasslands layers
For #EUGW, this means:
🟢 More precise grassland management signals
🟢 Better annual trend tracking
🟢 Stronger support for #Natura2000 conservation
🌿 Natural grasslands make up around 30% of Europe 🇪🇺 & are among its most threatened ecosystems
With data from the @CopernicusLand, #EUGW makes it easier to track change, assess condition & support conservation across #Natura2000 sites

#ICYMI
The #EUGW team presented at the 6th Eurosite #Natura2000 Monitoring Workshop❗
During the 'Monitoring Habitat Management & Restoration' session, @drgeoffsmith.bsky.social, presented our near-operational #EO service to experts & discussed the coverage we have in terms of grassland information
At the recent Eurosite Annual Meeting in #Vilnius 🇱🇹, George Catean (Fundatia ADEPT), highlighted how #EUGW can help better map and monitor the evolution of grasslands in #Romania 🇷🇴
He selected site Târnava Mare (ROSCI0227) as an example for evaluating ploughing and mowing events through time
#DYK that we attended #IALE2025 in #Bratislava 🇸🇰 this week❓
Our team demonstrated the latest functionalities of our web platform 🗺 and presented the progress achieved over the last few months.
The #EUGW platform currently maps over 1️⃣6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ #Natura2000 sites 🌾
Our latest newsletter is out❗️
This edition features how the EAGLE concept is reshaping land characterisation, capturing the complexity of grasslands beyond fixed labels
We also explore how #EUGW applies EAGLE’s approach to describe land based on its real characteristics
www.linkedin.com/pul...
#EUGW 🌱 builds on the EAGLE concept to provide richer, more flexible descriptions of #grasslands, going beyond fixed land cover classes
The approach, now adopted by #EEA and #CLMS, is detailed in a new paper just published in Land:

We had a great time at @esa.int's #LPS25❗️
It was a pleasure meeting so many people passionate about #EO🛰️
If you were present, we hope you had the opportunity to talk to us & ask us questions🌱
If you missed us, you can still join our mailing list for updates & information about #EUGW 👇
The #EUGW team had a blast at @esa.int's #LPS25 this week❗
We are grateful for the insightful discussions, new connections, and shared passion for #EO and land monitoring 🌱
A big thank you to everyone who attended our presentation, we appreciate your interest and enthusiasm 🌾

A great chance to learn more about #EUGW and chat with the project team!
#Copernicus #Biodiversity
At #LPS25, today’s session on the Nature Restoration Regulation stressed the need for co-design, standardisation, and interoperable platforms to support monitoring 🛰️ and reporting.
These are the challenges we aim to address through the #EUGW platform 🌱
#Biodiversity #Copernicus
Another morning, another day at #LPS25! And a reminder that even small patches of urban #grassland can support remarkable wildlife.
Spotted this European brown hare just minutes from the conference venue, right here in Vienna.
#EUGrasslandWatch #EUGW #Biodiversity #Copernicus
In the opening session at #LPS25, @esa.int's Simonetta Cheli warned of the triple planetary crisis: climate, #biodiversity and pollution❗️
She stressed EO’s 🛰️ role in tackling drought, crop loss and land use change 🚜
#EUGrasslandWatch #EUGW
📢 A few more days until @esa's Living Planet Symposium (#LPS25) begins, and #EUGW 🌱 will be there❗
Our team will speak at the session 'Monitoring grasslands and rangelands from space'
🗓️ Friday 27 June

#DYK that we are currently refining the #EUGW service based on user feedback?
In last week's workshop, we discussed #Indicators❗️
We gathered input on the selected set of #EUGW indicators to better understand what users need and which indicators they actually use 🗺️
The #EUGW team had a great time at #CLMSGA2025❗
Grateful for all the connections, insights, and discussions over the last 2️⃣ days.
A big thank you to everyone involved. Looking forward to next year! 🌾
José Miguel Rubio Iglesias (@eea.europa.eu) shared key takeaways from the Grassland Fishbowl at the #CLMSGA2025:
🟢 The value of grasslands 🌱
🟢The need for monitoring and data 🛰️ tailored to regulatory requirements
🟢The role of projects like #EUGW in delivering solutions
At the start of the Grassland Fishbowl session at #CLMSGA2025, @drgeoffsmith.bsky.social introduced #EUGW and highlighted the need for novel EO-based 🛰️products and services to better monitor the state of Europe’s 🇪🇺 grasslands 🌱
🌱 Happy #Natura2000 Day! 🌱
Today, we celebrate Europe's 🇪🇺 incredible network of protected areas!
Within the #EUGW project, we're proud to support efforts for the operation & preservation of Natura 2000 sites, through #Copernicus #EarthObservation (#EO) data 🛰

At the #CLMSGA2025 poster session, @DrGeoffSmith walked participants through how #EUGW moves beyond classification to describe grasslands according to 3⃣ categories:
🟢Productivity
🟢Type
🟢Management
One of the most exciting parts of #CLMSGA2025 is spotting synergies between projects and products❗️
This new #CLMS layer 🗺️ on endangered species 🐦 and habitats in #Natura2000 areas is a perfect example
#EUGW
@drgeoffsmith.bsky.social gave a quick rundown of the #EUGW 🌱 project ahead of the poster session at #CLMSGA2025
🔎Come find him at our poster if you'd like to learn more❗
Lots of interesting updates during the Portfolio Presentation at #CLMSGA2025❗️
Several #CLMS products form part of the data 🛰️ foundation for #EUGW, including grassland and #Natura2000 layers 🗺️
During the Introductory Presentations at #CLMSGA2025, policy relevance was highlighted as a key priority for 🛰️ #Copernicus 3.0.
🌿 #EUGW focuses on delivering tools that support EU 🇪🇺policy and conservation efforts on the ground 🗺️
🐉 The #EUGW team is in #Kraków 🇵🇱 for the #CLMSGA2025❗️
Come visit our poster and join us at tomorrow afternoon's fishbowl session on Grassland conservation 🌿
And yes, the dragon really breathes fire 🐲
