Southwest Restoration Services, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Services

Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping can be used to display various types of information about any given area. This often makes it easier to visualize problems, opportunities and desired outcomes of restoration projects. These maps are also a valuable aid when communicating the goals of the project to partners, potential partners, and the general public. The use of Geographic Positioning System (GPS) in conjunction with GIS can provide a detailed, precise display of features that are important to the success of a project (e.g. location of weed infestations, potential erosion sites, sensitive plant communities, etc.).
