Remote Property Monitoring at The Nature Conservancy in California (Summer 2020)

About This Report / White Paper
For nearly two decades, The Nature Conservancy's California Chapter has explored the use of remote sensing to meet our annual property monitoring requirements. In 2019 we tried something new: we collaborated with a third-party on their development of a web-based service tailored to support remote property monitoring. This paper provides key information that we have learned in our exploration of remote property monitoring.
