Espoon luontoaineistot

WMS API

From the dataset abstract

Data related to Espoo’s nature and environment can be accessed through the city’s WFS and WMS geographic data interfaces. The datasets include nature reserves, traditional landscapes, nature trails and valuable natural sites. In addition, a map of invasive species is available, depicting the invasive species in the plant world as well as the outdoor destinations in the Kotinurkilta kallioille guide.

The Environmental Protection Services of Espoo manages all of the above, except the map of invasive species and the Kotikalliot layers, which are produced and maintained by the Espoo Public Works Department.

More information:

All datasets are updated when changes occur.

You can find out more about valuable nature sites on the city’s website. You can find information on watercourses on the city’s website and in the mapping of watercourses in Espoo for 2020–2021 (in Finnish).

More information about the Kotikalliot dataset: most of the sites in the layers are described in the book Kotinurkilta kallioille. The layer Kotikalliot_alueet includes polygon-shaped outdoor guidance areas, Kottikalliot_luontopolut includes nature paths related to outdoor guidance, and Kottikalliot_pisteet includes point-shaped features related to outdoor guidance.

Please note that only some of the datasets in Espoo’s geographic data interfaces are open to everyone. The use of some layers requires logging in, and these layers are not open data.
