Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Our GIS team plays a crucial role in every stage of project planning, analysis, and reporting. We specialize in advanced spatial analysis and expert-level cartographic design, customized to meet the needs of our clients and project stakeholders. This commitment to excellence provides our clients with practical tools that enhance decision-making and support regulatory compliance.

Madrone’s GIS team is seamlessly integrated into multidisciplinary projects across all the sectors in which Madrone is active. From modeling wildlife habitat suitability to watershed assessments, we deliver spatial solutions that support both ecological integrity and project feasibility. We also maintain data management practices, ensuring consistency and traceability from field data collection through to final reporting. This comprehensive approach allows our team to respond quickly to evolving project needs and provide robust, sound outputs that stand up to technical review and regulatory scrutiny.

The quality of our GIS services stems from our use of current tools and technologies –  including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, Python scripting, and imagery – to deliver precise, reliable, and actionable outputs. Our team manages and analyzes large geospatial datasets, extracts key insights, and produces maps and spatial models that communicate findings clearly and effectively to clients, Indigenous partners, and regulators alike
