Ask anyone who works with field data and you will quickly learn about their creative process to distill piles of data into useful information.

One such an individual is Ricky Jones<\/a> the Technology Manager at Adventure Scientists, a non-profit organization, that equips partners with data volunteers collect from the outdoors. This partnership plays a crucial role in addressing data gaps for environmental and human health challenges. Robust data collection, volunteer coordination, and saving time are all concerns that Ricky wrestles with on a regular basis. Like many non-profit technologists, Ricky also struggles with limited resources, a small team, and no shortage of passionate volunteers.<\/p>\n

Ricky\u2019s journey with applying the ArcGIS Platform at Adventure Scientists started with a simple phone call and evolved into bringing together a solution using ArcGIS Hub, ArcGIS Online, and Esri\u2019s mobile tools for the following priority projects:<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

<\/h2>\n

Tracking Timber<\/strong><\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.adventurescientists.org\/timber.html<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The team and volunteers at Adventure Scientists are collecting thousands of leaf, seed, and wood samples to create databases of the chemical and genetic signatures of tree species throughout their ranges. Illegal logging is on the rise in the US as well as around the world, as timber thieves target valuable trees in national forests and even in private backyards.<\/p>\n

This information will power new tools to reveal the origin of any sample of timber\u2013\u2013taking away illegal loggers’ ability to sneak poached trees into the world’s wood supply. Law enforcement can then use the databases to catch tree poachers by checking whether wood really comes from where the seller says it does. Over 300 volunteers took 6000 samples throughout the 2019 field season of this project.<\/p>\n

The ArcGIS platform enables Ricky to bring together volunteers, streamline data collection, and report out progress. This provides both internal staff and volunteers with dynamic information products which in turn helps to inspire a greater sense of impact and accomplishment as well as inspire new ideas.<\/p>\n

Montana Wildlife Connectivity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.adventurescientists.org\/montana-wildlife-connectivity.html<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Did you know that more than 365 million animals are killed, 29,000 humans injured, and $8.4 billion in damages incurred every year in the United States alone as a result of wildlife-vehicle collisions? Humans and animals deserve better. Adventure Scientists is partnering with the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and the Montana Department of Transportation and many volunteers to focus efforts on understanding barriers to wildlife connectivity and identify areas of concern in order to plan for and mitigate these in the future.<\/p>\n

The ArcGIS platform enables Ricky to provide volunteers with a digital identity. Digital identity gives them access to focused field mobility tools and data collection forms in both connected and disconnected environments. This in turn reduces the time it takes to review data and correct errors by providing additional transparency.<\/p>\n

Wild and Scenic Rivers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The National Wild and Scenic Rivers System contributes 10% of drinking water throughout the United States. In addition, these rivers are essential for their cultural, recreational, and natural value. However, water quality on the vast majority of these rivers has not been comprehensively surveyed. Adventure Scientists is partnering with over 40 States and 4 Federal agencies to identify priority stressors impacting the environmental health of wild and scenic rivers.<\/p>\n

The ArcGIS platform will enable Ricky to coordinate volunteers across wide geographic spaces and normalize data collected to rapidly share outcomes with the variety of partners involved in this project.<\/p>\n
