The NatureMapping Program's vision is to create a national network that links natural resource agencies, academia and land planners with local communities primarily through schools.
NatureMapping's Future
NatureMapping provides many different opportunities for environmental education and hands-on field work.
NatureMapping will continue to develop through three phases:
1) Species identification and data collection
2) Data analysis, statistics and graphics
3) Computers, remote sensing, GIS (Geographical Information Systems), local area networking and Internet
