In-person conferences are back! Yes, we are a tech company, but there is no substitution for the face to face networking that occurs at live industry events. Kudos to the fine folks at the National Mitigation Banking and Ecosystem Conference (NMEBC) for pulling together a long-awaited and well-attended hybrid event. Wildnote's Renee Punzi and Jeff Erramouspe made valued connections while soaking up the quality presentations. Well done NMEBC!
Renee also made a trip to the Florida Association of Mitigation Bankers (FAMB) conference. There she learned more about the complex landscape of mitigation banking in Florida and how Wildnote can be an asset. She also met up with Wildnote customer GreenSource for a field trip to one of their banks. Always the adventurer, she squeezed in a trip down the Homosassa River in hopes of seeing a manatee.
Product Updates - Q3 highlights
The California Rapid Assessment Method has gone digital! Wildnote has released the Riverine, Slope, and Depressional modules vastly improving the consistency and quality of CRAM data with features such as taxonomy drop down lists, auto calculation of worksheet scores, and auto-population of the Summary Score Sheet real time in the field. Members of the CRAM Level 2 committee worked closely with Wildnote to develop this tool and have provided rigorous field testing. From the field survey to the final export, it meets with their approval.
Restoration Success Criteria Report Export gives project managers precise visibility into project metrics so that quick, educated, decisions can be made. Rather than having to comb through mountains of irrelevant data, the critical data can be flagged for visibility and corrective follow up can happen without delay. Customers can specify the parameters for the data they collect and how they want to aggregate that data. If a task needs a quick correction, you can easily see who is responsible for that data and assign the appropriate follow up.
