A collaborative effort to create GIS based bioregional maps would be quite cool.

Individuals, farmers, homesteaders, nurserymen, botanical gardens & parks
could be encouraged to
purchase the necessary GIS kits (probably expensive). Maybe groups and
individuals in each bioregion could collaborate financially to
buy the equipment; and use it to gather their own data for input to the DB. Rather than transmit that data to a satellite the data could be stored on an external firewire-linked hard drive connected to a laptop, shared by all. The stored data would be incrementally uploaded to
the DB. Maybe the PCU could make low interest GIS equipment loans to help make this possible. GIS-logged data could really evolve into something incredible; especially useful as a design tool and to track changes in PC systems installed on properties and the relationship of those changes to makeup and components of those designs.
