A crowdsourced zoning map for the nation
Zoning laws dictate much of what can be built in communities across the United States. But the details of the laws are often locked in lengthy and complicated PDF documents. The National Zoning Atlas crowdsources these incredibly influential laws by depicting their key attributes in an online, user-friendly map.

Conservation Lands Network 2.0
Conservation Lands Network 2.0 is a long-term regional strategy and framework to set goals, provide tools, and catalyzes on-the-ground land conservation in the Bay Area. Working closely with TOGETHER Bay Area (formerly the Bay Area Open Space Council), Greeninfo Network worked to completely update and relaunch the Conservation Lands Network and associated web tools. This foundational dataset has been a key guide for regional conservation funding and habitat protection for more than a decade. The update included a complete rerunning of the underlying analysis from 1.0, alongside an extensive reimagining of the online Explorer tool and the Conservation Portfolio report.

Helping transportation planners adapt to sea level rise
San Francisco Bay Area roads are at risk from sea level rise. In Marin County, major highways often run on low-lying lands that were once marshes. Marin County’s Public Works Department wanted to provide data about sea level rise to planners and engineers who work on road projects. GreenInfo Network and Tom Robinson Consulting built Marin County’s Resilient Roads application for that purpose.

Intertidal Strategies design research
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) manages California’s diverse fish resources and habitats. One way the department collects data is the fishery logbook, a form where people record catches or attempts for specific fish species. Greeninfo was contacted by Intertidal Strategies, who partnered with CDFW in creating a more efficient logbook entry platform.
John Muir Trail Maps
The John Muir Trail Foundation partnered with GreenInfo Network to create definitive poster and detail maps of the John Muir Trail. The 220-mile trail was established back in 1915 and stretches across the high Sierra Nevada of California.
Visual Design Presentation
GreenInfo has long been supported by Esri, the leading GIS publisher, and its conservation program which donates ArcGIS software used heavily by GreenInfo. Ever year, Esri holds a major User Conference with over 15,000 GIS users, featuring hundreds of workshops and other learning sessions. Based on discussions between GreenInfo and Esri at the 2013 conference about the quality of maps being exhibited by users, Esri underwrote the development of a three part presentation series for 2014, co-created by GreenInfo and Esri staff which has been exhibited between the years 2014 to 2018.
