Portfolio
GreenInfo delivers user research, thoughtful design, and innovative technology. We create data, tools, and maps that are meaningful, accessible, usable, and impactful.
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 to Make Monuments
Our work with Tribes and conservation advocates in California was an essential part of campaigns that led to the designation of two new national monuments: Sattitla Highlands and Chuckwalla.
Mapping Wildlife Crossings in San José
Greeninfo developed a series of maps for Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority to map wildlife crossings in the San Jose Area, specifically Coyote Valley which serves as a key habitat connector between coastal and inland habitats.
Powerbuilding with Maps
Prevention Institute’s People, Parks, and Power (P3) is the first national funding initiative in the U.S. to support powerbuilding by community-based organizations to reverse deep seated park and green space inequities in Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities across the country. GreenInfo Network was brought in to assist with our mapping expertise.
Reducing Wildfire in Marin County
Wildfire is a fact of life in California. In 2000, Marin County residents voted to fund a new agency, the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority, to chart a path to a fire-resilient future. We helped them build a mapping and data program to track their progress.
Updating Maps and Creating GIS Best Practices
Back in 2022, Marin Resource Conservation District (RCD) worked with GIN in developing and implementing a robust new GIS system. Over several months we did monthly training for ArcGIS Pro and data management. Collaboratively we consolidated and updated existing data into organized geodatabases.

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.
