Hello! Posting here because I posted over in the FarmOS Forum and BOTL Farm suggested I also post here. Hope that’s ok –>
FarmOS, Point Blue, Our Sci, CalPoly Initiative for Climate Leadership and Resilience and the Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District are designing a new, low cost, open-source software for Conservation Planning for both producers and planners. The software includes onboarding, conservation practice and resource planning, auto-generation of reports, report templating and will expand from there to monitoring, verification, additional planning activities, and beyond. We are in the prototype and discovery phase, collecting information about current software use and asking for your feedback. These tools are made to be used independently or alongside Conservation Desktop and similar existing software to create more efficient workflows. Most importantly, they are open source and designed by and for those who use them.
If you are involved in the conservation planning process, please take 5-10 minutes to fill out this survey. Your voice really matters! It will be used in a needs assessment report, to continue supporting this work, and be summarized (and anonymized) for the software developers to expand in new and useful directions. We want these tools to streamline the workflow and unlock the maximum amount for conservation implementation.

Thank you,
Greg Austic
