permaculture

["Andrea S. Laliberte" <andrea.laliberte@earthmetrics.com>]

Learn how to map your land using open source software and freely 
available data. This material was presented in a workshop at Oregon 
State University last year, and is now available on CD as a self-paced 
course.

The course introduces digital mapping tools and techniques (Geographic 
Information Systems or GIS), and how small landowners and permaculture 
designers can use these tools with freely available data for site 
planning. The course provides an excellent introduction to GIS for any 
small landowner interested in visualizing terrain of the land, planning 
layout of buildings and gardens, and using GIS maps in Google Earth. You 
will learn about freely available aerial photos, topographic data, soil 
maps, and other spatial layers, as well as open source software used in 
this course. The course material includes all GIS data, step by step 
tutorials, mapping examples, sources of free data, and email support.
