Our Geographic Information System computer-mapping program was begun in 1992 under the direction of Bill Haskins and Jiri Doscocil. The program was initiated in order to make scientifically valuable spatial data available to conservationists working on public land protection issues in the Northern Rockies. In the years since that beginning, and still under the operational direction of Mr. Haskins, the GIS program has become highly proficient at performing sophisticated geographic analyses of conservation problems in order to make complex issues understandable to the general public.

One of the primary goals driving the formation of the GIS program was to make modern computer cartography and spatial data management technology accessible to a wide variety of conservation groups and individuals. In addition to non-profit organizations and educational institutions, our GIS program works with state and federal government agencies in the United States, as well as the Canadian federal government. For over a decade our GIS program has served conservation organizations in the United States and aboard.
