It's already May and so we are busy working on prepping for the Virtual Esri User Conference (UC) 2021! We could use your help this year in planning our Natural Resources and Environment Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting. We have a short survey below to gather feedback that will help inform how we develop the SIG - which is all about the community! What's a SIG? Well, we know that across our industry many agencies and organizations face similar challenges and every year we attempt to showcase a few examples of how the user community has addressed those challenges and present their story to the benefit of the rest of the community. That's why, every year, we request feedback from that very same community for planning purposes! Please fill out this survey by Monday, 5/16/2021, if possible. It's short and sweet! Additionally, make sure you register for the Virtual UC this year! It's FREE! We look forward to "seeing" you all at the 2021 UC and the SIG! Thank you!

We had an awesome Environment and Natural Resources Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting at the 2020 User Conference with some great presentations from natural resources agencies in Missouri, South Dakota and South Carolina! We had over 550 participants during the live event and we received a lot of excellent feedback. To that end, we have been asked by several folks if the recording could be made available and we are all in luck as we were able to obtain it and post to YouTube! The links are below for the full event as well as the individual agency presentations. Enjoy and please connect with us if you have any questions or would like more info. Also, if you haven't done so already please join the Environment and Natural Resources Community via this story map as this is a way for us to continue connecting and collaborating.

ArcGIS technology is applied in many ways in support of Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation (R3) strategies and initiatives at all levels. Check out the following resources: Case Studies: South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks Boosts Participation in Outdoor Recreation Wisconsin Provides a Map-based App to Guide Hunters Key Solution Offerings and Examples: Increase Participation/R3 Outdoor Recreation Hub Template State Park and Wildlife Trends Story Map Main trends that we are seeing GIS technology being applied to within Parks, Fisheries and Wildlife agencies...much of which is dealing with outdoor recreation participation. Texas Parks Dashboard: Tracking Revenue, Visitation and Capital Construction Data This is a Parks example but the tracking and visualization of revenue vs. other factors is also a consistent need with R3 Readily Available Content: Demographics Tapestry Segmentation Living Atlas of the World Authoritative collection of geographic information that includes maps, apps, and data layers to support your R3 work.

ArcGIS Hub offers a tremendous amount of potential for engaging with the public and partners at all scales around natural resources initiatives, and bringing together the key resources needed by all these folks. Check out this user story of how this approach was put into action with the leadership of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) for the 2020 update of the Montana Forest Action Plan. Collaboration was critical to not only the support and success of developing the plan, but also ensuring this success for the long term. Hub has been essential to this and as pointed out in the article: "Hub has enabled us to reduce the friction between data and the people that need to be informed by it. We’ve removed some of the technical knowledge and staff power needed to leverage and access geospatial information on Montana's forests."

With last week's release, several existing ArcGIS Solutions were enhanced and new Solutions were deployed, including a new Citizen Science release. Citizen Science is a collection of maps and apps that can be used by conservation staff to collect sightings of plants and animals from citizen scientists and monitor citizen science programs. The Solutions include: Citizen Science Survey which is based on Survey123 and can be used to report sightings; Citizen Science Manager which is used to review and verify reports; and Citizen Science Dashboard which is used by staff to explore reports. Check them out and take them for a test drive today! Citizen Science | ArcGIS Solutions for State Government

Check out this article by the National Park Service about how they are leveraging Survey123 to enhance citizen science efforts in Glacier National Park. A group of very active citizen scientists from the Park’s Common Loon Citizen Science Project is using the app which not only streamlines and improves the collection of data, but is also bringing the ability to make critical management decisions to protect and sustain common loon populations. Web maps provide a real-time display of loon observations from a variety of citizen scientists allowing the park staff to have greater understanding supporting critical decisions and to target areas for surveys.
