Payette Land Trust

Interactive GIS Application for Asset Management & Public Engagement

Location3x developed a comprehensive conservation dashboard for the Payette Land Trust that demonstrates how modern GIS applications can transform organizational operations and stakeholder communication.

This project dashboard is an example of how incredibly dynamic Experience Builder applications can be. The application allows Land Trust staff to view their own assets and images alongside authoritative reference data from other agencies and stakeholders. It also incorporates information to help them streamline and prioritize their workflows.
