# Maps & Mapping Menu

There are links to several digital maps from this page:

* [Environment](https://shared.xmap.cloud/?map=29ba71de-6718-4890-8c09-e9f6ea848c9c) - public open source data on flood risk areas
* [Parish Activities](https://shared.xmap.cloud/?map=deb10f97-d712-443d-82c0-df0aa66d142f) - map of local projects reported by parish councils
* [Parish Volunteer Groups ](https://shared.xmap.cloud/?map=542a0a89-c17b-445c-8288-aad93e6be41a)- map of local groups active in climate action and nature recovery

Click on the map title to be taken to that public map, and you'll see the menu for mapped data on the left of the screen.  Please note that there are a lot of data downloading to some of the maps, which may take a few seconds to show if you have a slow connection - please be patient:  when you select a layer, there is stuff coming! (ie there are no empty layers)

If you are not yet familiar with our [Digital Mapping](https://wiki.greatcollaboration.uk/knowledgebase/introduction-to-the-great-collaboration/how-to-use-this-site/mapping),  please click on the link for our guide

If you have other maps, or believe that your parish should be added to these ones, please contact us at <office@greatcollaboration.co.uk>
