Warinner describes how Simpson uses Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) to gather and monitor spatial data across a large landscape.
This includes, but is not limited to, data on riparian zones, plant
cover, wildlife and roads. Without GIS modern forest management would
be impossible. Foresters, engineers and biologists also use Global
Positioning Systems (GPS) to maintain accuracy about where each piece
of data is collected. Forest Tilley coveted one of Gary's GIS maps
because it touched on Forest's 360 acre tree farm which adjoins
Simpson forestlands.
