MPS provides a range of GIS mapping and planning-related consulting services for this non-profit land conservation organization on Aquidneck Island.

GIS services include technical support for developing and implementing land conservation strategies, greenways and trails planning and design. Mapping is prepared for local planning board meetings, property baseline documentation, grant applications, assorted promotional materials and public informational workshops. In addition, MPS maintains on AILT’s behalf a comprehensive island-wide GIS database as a valuable resource for local planning and conservation efforts.

Currently, MPS is conducting a comprehensive island-wide GIS-base analyses of over 25,000 parcels. The goal is to determine what land on Aquidneck Island is still available to protect, and of the remaining parcels, which meet AILT's Land Acquisition Criteria. This will assist the Land Trust in achieving its 2002 - 2007 Strategic Plan to protect 2,000 acres by 2007, that is, an additional 1,000 quality acres over the next four years.
