Volunteers Can Do It!: Using Collector for Natural Resource Management
Track: ArcGIS for Organizations
Authors: Tory Elmore

The Wildlands Conservancy developed a Natural Resources Management Plan with students at the University of Redlands using the ESRI Collector App. Data informs management decisions, serves as a baseline for future data collection by employees and volunteers, and is used to create story maps showcasing TWC's dual mission statement at work. The project demonstrates the utility of volunteer data collection using Collector, especially for nonprofit organizations with limited resources.
