GIS Curriculum
UCCE has developed a series of self-paced technical exercises to aid natural resource professionals in gaining practical experience with GIS. While it is recommended to practice these lessons during one of UCCE's in-person trainings, these training materials are provided for self-paced instruction.
This technical manual article was developed to help resource professionals increase the efficacy and ease with which they use GIS tools. Examples contained utilize examples of forest landscapes and forest management scenarios to assist professionals with a guidance document to reference when performing their duties.
