How do we use GIS to track our projects?
We identify baseline conditions, begin to act, then monitor to see how we’re doing.
Narrow down focus area.
Conservation dollars are limited.
Tracking where and how much has been done.
Summarize your past work by showing acres treated each year.
Tracking helps identify the amount of work for each upcoming year.
We can track our progress online too.
In a nutshell, how do we track progress? • Identify baseline conditions -> inventory-> create databases • Monitor-> add to databases-> Calculate the differences • Map the change

Its all about -
Exposing the values of a place, quantifying what is there and protecting those values, for the benefit of all.
