Supporting Milfoil Management Efforts Through Data-Driven Visuals
Green Goat Maps collaborated with the Upper Saranac Foundation to develop specialized maps for grant applications and reports supporting milfoil management efforts on Upper Saranac Lake and Follensby Clear Pond. These maps provided clear, data-driven visuals to illustrate the scope of invasive species management and the effectiveness of ongoing conservation strategies.
Green Goat Maps was contracted to:
Design detailed maps highlighting areas affected by milfoil and the progress of removal efforts.
Integrate GIS data to provide accurate representations of lake ecosystems and conservation zones.
Ensure the maps met grant application requirements, effectively communicating project impact and needs.
Create visualizations tailored for inclusion in grant proposals and post-project reports.
The project resulted in a set of highly detailed maps showcasing milfoil-affected regions, treatment progress, and conservation priorities. These maps were designed for clarity and precision, enhancing the effectiveness of grant applications and reports submitted by the Upper Saranac Foundation.
Challenges of This Project
Accurately representing dynamic aquatic environments in a format suitable for funding proposals was a key challenge. The maps needed to balance scientific accuracy with visual clarity, ensuring they effectively communicated the impact of milfoil management efforts. By leveraging GIS technology and collaborating with conservation experts, Green Goat Maps created precise, data-driven visuals that met grant funding criteria.
