appropriate public access and appropriate resource use.
Often times this entails detailed scientific field surveys
to gather botanical, wildlife, fire history, trail use
information, etc. With the use and development of GIS
technology, Condor enhances the planning and decision
making process.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Condor
utilizes cutting edge technology for site inventory
and impact analysis. We create maps that present multiple
layers of spatial information such as the location
of resources and proposed trails, and to display land
use information such as locations of alternative sites
for development.
A Geographic
Information System (GIS) is used to develop these complex
and precise models of a project site, such as the Point
Sal Reserve shown to the right. Condor
used a GIS to develop these complex and precise models
of the Point Sal Reserve shown to the right. See projects
page for more examples. (top)
