Overview

Mason, Bruce & Girard, Inc. (MB&G) was founded in 1921 by David Mason, an early and vocal advocate for sustained yield forestry. Today, MB&G has three lines of business: forestry, environmental, and geospatial services. We are headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and have offices in California, Idaho, and Colorado. MB&G has 60 employees who provide forestry, environmental, and geospatial expertise to help solve some of the most complex natural resource management projects. While MB&G has been providing GIS services to our clients and has been an Esri business partner for over 20 years, the establishment of the Geospatial Services Group (GSG) in 2010 was a significant investment and commitment to enhance and expand our geospatial capabilities. The GSG now includes software architects, developers, project management professionals, database analysts, GIS and image processing analysts, and technicians. Building on almost a century of successful project execution and innovation, we have developed the MB&G Spatial Content Management System (CMS) and MB&G MobileMap, a widely-successful field GIS and data collection software. MB&G ensures our core values of integrity, quality, expertise, and client service, are consistently met with a 100% successful delivery on projects that range from a few thousand dollars to million dollar enterprise development efforts spanning multiple municipal, state, private, and federal clientele.
