Welcome
Opening page of web site
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful mapping and analysis tool for land trusts seeking to conserve nature, enhance communities and support rural economies and culture.
The information in this web site includes sections organized according to your capacity with GIS:
- Basic - for those who are just learning (or want to learn) GIS, or have been using it occasionally for short periods of time
- Advanced - for those who have actively used GIS and may have had college-level training or other courses
- Expert - for those who have a number of years actively using GIS for challenging projects
If you're new to the site, you should START HERE...
Now available: GIS Best Practices for Land Trusts factsheet (PDF, 350kb)
Site status: We're working on version 2 of LandTrustGIS and hope to increase its case studies and other information. If you have a project or web link that you think should be included on this site, or other suggestions, please contact us.
