Rocky Mountain Wild2024
Southern Rockies Connectivity Atlas
A regional connectivity atlas modeling wildlife corridors across the Southern Rockies ecoregion, synthesizing Circuitscape outputs with field data.
Cartography / Spatial Analysis / Conservation
Redstone GIS Consulting, LLC
Maps, models, and spatial analysis for the organizations protecting wild places — from the Southern Rockies to landscapes across the globe.
01 — Practice
Geographic information systems, applied to the places worth keeping.
Redstone GIS is an independent consultancy producing rigorous spatial analysis, cartographic design, and decision-support tools for the conservation community. Every project begins with the same question: what does the land need, and what story do the data tell about it?

02 — Capabilities
A practice built around five core capabilities.
01
Cartographic Design
Publication-quality static and interactive maps built in ArcGIS Pro and open-source toolchains, tuned for readability and story.
02
Spatial Analysis
Connectivity modeling, habitat suitability, land-use change detection, and site-selection workflows grounded in peer-reviewed methods.
03
Data Stewardship
Data audits, geodatabase architecture, metadata documentation, and long-term stewardship plans for geospatial assets.
04
Web & Interactive
StoryMaps, web apps, and dashboards published through ArcGIS Online to put findings in front of decision-makers and the public.
05
Remote Sensing
Imagery analysis, land cover classification, and change detection using Landsat, Sentinel, and NAIP sources.
03 — Selected Projects

Wilderness Inventory Mapping
Publication-quality cartography supporting wilderness designation efforts across six Western states.
Audubon Society2022
Important Bird Area Review
Spatial review of Important Bird Area boundaries using updated eBird observation density and land-cover datasets.
05 — Approach
Rigor, clarity, collaboration.
Conservation GIS is as much about listening as it is about data. Every engagement starts with a conversation about the decision the map needs to support, continues with transparent method documentation, and ends with deliverables the team can use, update, and share.
01
Listen
Understand the decision, the audience, and the constraints before opening any software.
02
Build
Prototype analyses openly, document methods, iterate against feedback from partners on the ground.
03
Deliver
Hand off maps, data, and documentation built to outlast the project and support future work.
