It is capable of reading and editing ESRI ArcView shapefiles, displaying aerial photography, and has transparency capability. In other words this software has a lot of the functionality of software that costs $1500 – $2000.

The last public build of this software was in 2005 by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. I now have the distribution rights to this software so please feel free to download it. There is a complete set of instructions that come with the software, so you can be up and running in minutes.

Fall 2009 Professional Development Day

You’ve seen the Power Points, now see the trees!

On Thursday, October 9th join us for a field trip to the Green River site where we will have the opportunity to visit recently harvested and standing blocks with a guided tour. We will start in the Edmundston Regional DNR Office at 9:00 a.m. with a brief indoor session and then travel out to the blocks. A 15 passenger van is booked; if there are more participants additional transport can be arranged.

Bring your own lunch, and dress for any weather. There is no cost for the day.

You must reserve your seat no later than October 7 by contacting the office at the e-mail or phone number below.
