gis for conservation
your land data deserves better infrastructure.
Conservation organizations and land trusts are doing some of the most careful, patient work in the environmental sector, and they're often managing decades of critical spatial data in tools that weren't built for it. Spreadsheets. Paper records. Aging shapefiles passed down from staff who left years ago.
whereabouts builds the geospatial infrastructure that makes conservation data usable, shareable, and sustainable: for the team managing it today and the organization stewarding it for decades to come.

Design and build spatial databases for land parcel, easement, and habitat data
Migrate legacy data from aging formats into governed, maintainable systems
Build field data collection tools for botanical surveys and habitat assessment
