This session will explore how different land trusts ensure that mapping programs and title/survey work support their conservation programs. The panelists will discuss different mapping needs during due diligence, acquisition, disposition and stewardship. We’ll invite audience participation as we explore ways to “right-size” mapping and surveying needs, and develop best practices based on the real world experiences of the panel and the audience. Topics will include use of surveyors, development of GIS programs, different maps for different types of projects, addressing errors, inconsistencies and uncertainties, needed levels of specificity and storing information for the long term.
