Forest
Pal's objective is to help others explore the potential of GPS,
GIS and digital mapping technology. The site emphasizes low-cost
and free tools and data sources along with practical instructions
to make GIS accessible to more users.
ForestPal is located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. It
was launched to continue the content previously offered through
www.digitalgrove.net which was started in 2002 by Paul Pingrey.
Thank you Paul for your service, we will strive to live up to
your high standards.
Software
and data sources featured at ForestPal were selected based on
personal experience of Paul, myself, and other mapping enthusiasts.
There are thousands of free and open source GIS products available
on the Internet, but researching them can be discouraging for
field managers who simply want to get the job done.
