Windtower Location Analysis
Sponsor: New Wind Energy - click here to visit
New Wind energy contracted with us to assist with efforts to identify parcels with physiographic characteristics suitable for the placement of wind towers. Parcel and elevation data (DEM) supported analysis and visualization, as well as automating the extraction of assessor information (e.g. property owner, acreage, etc.)..

Trail Database Development & Mapping
Sponsor: Upper Valley Trails Alliance
Stewardship Technology has recently begun to provide technical assistance to the UVTA. Efforts include the development of a GIS database and subsequent map production supporting the organizations mission to enhance and promote trail use within their region.

Habitat Mapping / Open Space Planning / Natural Resource Identification (NRI)
Sponsor: Acworth Conservation Commission
Stewardship Technology has been providing ongoing support to the Acworth Conservation Commission for several years. The current targeted niche is to provide assistance for the development of "fine filter" or local scale habitat identification and prioritization products, to compliment recently completed "coarse filter" efforts. The level of community activism, combined with a phenomenal landscape, makes Acworth our favorite work/play environment!

San Francisco Peaks Road Inventory
Sponsor: Grand Canyon Trust / USFS
Coordinated the GIS development component of the effort, including the design of an automated GPS data correction process, and subsequent GIS data layer development with relational database design.

Massachusetts Resource Identification Project (MRIP)
Sponsor: Environmental Protection Agency, New England Region One
Coordinated the Massachusetts Resource Identification Project, a component of the EPA New England Resource Protection Project. Primary objective involved the development of an automated GIS decision support system for assistance with natural resource / conservation planning applications.

Losing Ground II
Sponsor: The Massachusetts Audubon Society
Provided analysis and map production for Losing Ground II, a report produced by the Massachusetts Audubon Society highlighting growth impacts and trends on statewide biodiversity.

Temporal Landuse Analysis for the Gran Pajonal Region, Peru
Sponsor: Dr. Soren Hvalkof (P.I.); Danish Resource Council
Responsibilities included proposal and data development, analysis, and map production. The project was conducted in support of Dr. Soren Hvalkof’s hypothesis related to the impact of both indigenous and settler communities on the regional ecosystem. Digital data developed for this project originated from an array of data sources: existing analog maps, 1950’s, 60’s, and 80’s aerial photographs, and a 1997 Spot image. The project was presented to the Danish Resource Council, Denmark, and the World Bank, New York.

Land Use Change Analysis & Master Plan Map Support
Sponsor: Jeffrey H. Taylor & Associates, Inc. (Farmington, NH)
Conducted land use change analysis for time periods 1962, 1974, 1998, and 2004. Change depicted as cartographic products, as well as quantified as acreage units. Data development and mapping of a future land use scenario completed as well.

Master Plan Map Support
Sponsor: Jeffrey H. Taylor & Associates, Inc. (Gorham, NH)
Provided GIS technical support for master plan report development. Mapping of natural resources (e.g. wetlands, streams, etc.), as well as conservation lands, physical constraints (e.g. steep slopes, etc.), and infrastructure (e.g. road networks, etc.) were components of the effort.

Fire Station Response Analysis
Sponsor: Joseph O'Keefe / Oxford, CT
Completion of an analysis of existing station response times. The GIS effort is a component of a comprehensive department needs assessment.

Fire Station Response Analysis
Sponsor: Joseph O'Keefe / Beverly, MA
Analysis of historical response incidents, combined with existing and proposed station locations, supported a recommended configuration scenario, providing maximum response coverage.

The Jamaican National Irrigation Master Plan
Sponsor: Jamaica National Irrigation Commission
Implemented organizational GIS to support the development of the Jamaican National Irrigation Master Plan. Production of the National Land and Water Atlas of Jamaica a component of this effort.

Fire Station Relocation Initiative
Sponsor: City of Flagstaff, AZ
Utilized ESRI GIS software to objectively model a spatial configuration optimizing response time. Analysis included the quantification of citizens as well as structures within the National Fire Protection Act 17-10, response standard. Model results supported a policy shift from a recommendation for the construction of two additional stations, to the relocation of two of the six existing stations.

Batchelder Property - 273 acres. Acworth, NH
Recently developed forest management plan was converted to a GIS database format. Descriptive and prescriptive information contained within the report, relating to individual stands, was "expressed" as thematic maps, exemplifying the concept of "one graphic conveying the message of a thousand words of text". GIS & GPS technology will be used to assist long term woodlot management activities.

Grader Woodlot - 312 acres. Goshen, NH
Development of a property database of select features (e.g. boundary, trails, deer stands, cultural features, etc.) through GPS capture as well as conversion of existing map products. Property has recently been accepted into the NH Tree Farm Program. Stewardship Technology will continue to use GIS and GPS tools to assist landowners with active woodlot management, including a 2005 forest management plan update.

Hinman Property - Acworth, NH
GPS data capture and GIS data development and map production to support Current Use program enrollment, as well as the pending development of a forest management plan.

Rhoades Property - 79 Acres- Alstead, NH
Activity "on the ground" within this woodlot has a lengthy history of engagement. A Tree Farm property demonstrating many components related to sound woodlot management. Historical woodlot management was captured on the "Woodlot Map". Converting this information to a GIS format has provided a means to more readily update, analyze, and produce current map products.
