Portfolio
GreenInfo delivers user research, thoughtful design, and innovative technology. We create data, tools, and maps that are meaningful, accessible, usable, and impactful.
Highlighted Projects
Equitable Park Access Research Project
The Equitable Outdoor Access Research Project uses public data to map people and public parks and open spaces across six states (Arizona, California, Georgia, Montana, New Mexico and Washington). Across those states, we found that nearly 23 million people don’t have a neighborhood park within a 10-minute walk from their homes.
Florida Green Stormwater Photo Library
TNC Florida parterned with Greeninfo to create an interactive library that advocates for and showcases the positive impacts of Green Stormwater Infrastructures with concrete examples that make the case for more sustainable stormwater management Resulting from this work is a public website that includes a photo search and project search, along with key facts about each project with the purpose of educating and promoting Green Stormwater Infrastructures.
Guiding $1.5 billion for equitable park access
California voters have often supported bond measures to help build local parks. The Department of Parks and Recreation is charged with distributing those funds. We created parksforcalifornia.org to showcase that work. It also hosts tools that make it easier for local park advocates to apply for funding, and for the state to ensure those funds are equitably distributed.

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.
Kelpwatch.org Design and Development
Working with academic and government partners, TNC staff had designed, built, and launched kelpwatch.org as an MVP demonstrating how earth observation data can be made actionable in California. They came to GreenInfo and we recruited help from our partners at Development Seed to grow the site into the world’s largest dynamic map of canopy-forming kelps.
Mapping California’s Public Lands
Before GreenInfo created the California Protected Areas Database, there was no single source of data about protected lands in California. Now, the database has become a national model and a foundation for a huge range of conservation and park equity work.
Mapping the Mosaic Atlas
The Mosaic Atlas is a project created by Mosaic America and San Jose State University to highlight culturally significant sites across the San Francisco Bay Area. Mosaic America came to Greeninfo to help visualize these locations on an interactive map,
Mapping the Resilient Northern Great Plains
The Nature Conservancy has a big, landscape-scale story to tell about its work with Native tribes and ranchers across the prairies of the Northern Great Plains. We made a series of six showcase maps of the work, including three thematic views of the whole regions and three highlights of specific TNC preserves. These maps won First Place for a Map Series or Atlas at the 2020 Esri User Conference, the world’s largest mapping industry event.
