Natural resource managers perform a broad scope of duties, much of them focused on inventorying and monitoring species and site conditions within the environment. The volume of time required to manage these resources is monumental. Additionally, access to these locations is often difficult, remote, and impossible to visit frequently. You need to make every data collection trip count! The use of digital photographs, video, and audio narration is an extremely valuable and important tool for site documentation and communication. Since everything in the environment has a location, quality data collection should include the manual task of recording GPS information. However, the value and usability of motion and still imagery, plus location data, does have limitations. Additionally, the visualization of this data-spatially-has been a challenge … until now.

Red Hen Systems provides the natural resources community with cost-effective, highly versatile, and easily-integrated solutions that enable better decision-making. We offer a fully automated process for geo-referencing and mapping digital photographs, video, and audio. More importantly, we provide you with tools that dramatically enhance the use and sharing of field data-straight from your desktop or the Web.
