permaculture

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

I have worked professionally with geospatial data for natural resource 
applications for 17 years, and through my interest in permaculture, I 
could see the potential of integrating more GIS and mapping tools into 
the permaculture mapping process. This also allows me to combinemy 
professional experience with my passion as a small market gardener. I 
have developed the following course and map packages:


Learn how to map your land using open source software and freely 
available data. This self-paced, video-based course on DVD is an 
excellent introduction to digital mapping tools (GIS) for landowners or 
permaculture designers. It will allow you to visualize the terrain of 
the land, perform site planning based on slope, aspect, and other 
features, and use GIS maps with open source software and Google Earth. 
You will learn where to obtain freely available aerial photos, 
topographic data, soil maps, and other spatial layers, and how to view 
and manipulate the data. Details at:

For those that prefer a final product, I offer different levels of map 
packages that include the finest detail mapping layers available for 
your property. The products can be customized to your land and needs, 
include free visualization software, and require no specialized mapping 
knowledge. Details at
