Clients

I am happy to provide professional references and examples of work which I have done.


• American Littoral Society : I worked with them to create Smart Growth Action Maps relating to land use and land cover.
• Monmouth Conservation Foundation: I work with them to create property maps to define locations of interest for purchase for preservation. I also create property maps to fulfil the requirements of particular grants, and create county-wide property maps for them - showing both publically owned land(to purchase adjoining lots) and to look at other variables(such as endangered species habitat) which might help them to select properties. Also creating maps of all their purchased land, and targeted areas.
