Recreation and Tourism Resource Management

Many forests and parklands are areas of mixed uses, including recreation and tourism.  Miles of hiking trails, camp grounds, boat ramps, and other assets are a part of the mix in addition to the natural assets resident in the forests and large land holdings.

Mixing natural environments with urban locations puts more pressure on the management team to ensure awareness of any changes or threats to the asset base or its users. 

ForestIQ is a powerful, yet simple-to-use solution that is perfect for professional management teams who may also utilize volunteers or seasonal staff for data-gathering and analysis.

Advantages of ForestIQ's Easy to Use Spatial Data Capture and Analysis System.

Powerful, but simple tools designed to facilitate the easy gathering, storage, retrieval and analysis of asset and area management.

• You decide what information you need using the ForestIQ^TM Field Manager software along with our many asset and event inspection templates. 
• You and your staff collect the necessary information while in the field using the ForestIQ^TM Field Recorder software running on a ruggedized hand-held (PDA) qualified by Precision Plant Systems for compatibility, ruggedness and functionality.  Field observations are entered with a simple finger press on the I-Phone-like interface and are time- and GPS-stamped, along with easy-entered field instrument measurements.
• At the office, all the field data is automatically uploaded into the database using the ForestIQ^TM Analyst software. Optionally, the data can be made securely available over the internet to any password-enabled user. Your entire staff will be able to retrieve timely and accurate data for improved decision making regardless of location.
• Finally, maps, reports, tabular data, and summaries built on the data will give you and your staff detailed information in an easy-to-use format for better asset analysis, repair and area management decisions.
