WHAT TO EXPECT

30 minutes of fast-paced, solution-oriented, interactive chat with Sheryl Creer of Stantec and Matt Spadoni of EDR. These experts will share their tips for navigating and simplifying complex wetland data collection, post processing, and reporting tasks.

"I was exporting data forms today and it only took me an hour and a half to do what used to take me 5-6 hours to do. We at EDR really appreciate your service." Matt Spadoni - Field Ecologist, EDR

"It took about a week’s worth of time to QA/QC and complete paper data forms for a wetland delineation with more than 200 features mapped. A comparable project using Wildnote cut the QA/QC time for data forms down to a day. The time saved in not having to decipher messy handwriting is worth it alone!” Sheryl Creer - Botanist, Stantec
