Wetland Delineation 4.0 – Data Sheets Done in Record Time!

Written by Anita Henry | Oct 16, 2020 2:04:02 AM

 

"Without Wildnote, a wetland delineation with over 200 features mapped took about a week’s worth of time to QA/QC and complete paper data forms. A comparable wetland project using Wildnote cut the QA/QC time for data forms down to a day. The time saved in not having to decipher messy handwriting is worth it alone!” – Sheryl Creer, Botanist, Stantec

 

Digital Speed and Accuracy with Wetlands 4.0 

Wildnote automation for wetland determination already auto-fills the wetland indicator status for all plants, calculates plant dominance, and completes the Prevalence and Dominance worksheets for you - all while working offline, in the field. The Wildnote Web App then lets you complete QA and get your reports out fast! You can thank the people already using the platform for inspiring these environmental compliance efficiency gems in our latest update, Wetlands 4.0.
