PAOneStop
PAOneStop
PaOneStop was developed to help farms manage their farm fields, access and develop erosion control, property management, and crop alternating plans. This is a free website that provides instant access to better and more up-to-date satellite image quality than google maps, access lidar-like topography maps.
There are many resources developed for agriculture which overlap with the needs of reforestation, erosion control, riparian buffers, grass to forest, and other native habitat remediation projects.
Highlights
Access recent high resolution satellite imagery (higher resolution than google maps)
Map stream buffers (as a polygon layer of your field map) identify locations and acreage of riparian buffer or live staking projects which accesses formulated algorithms of buffer acreage as it relates to the amount of sediment prevented from eroding for erosion control projects)
Map feature locations on map: (forest, water source,...)
Map progress of a tree planting project site by updating a polygon forest feature
How to use PAOneStop to map nonprofit tree plantings:
Add Farm
Draw Field on the farm
Add Features to the field
Map Streams and buffer around streaming Erosion tool
Also enter Type of crops planted as part of soil quality and erosion plan
