Reading the land before working with it: An exploration of landscape decisions guided by high-resolution topographic data

Mitch Rawlyk is excited to share that whether you’re stewarding a homestead, advising clients, or evaluating land for investment or development, understanding terrain is foundational.

In this session, we’ll walk through how to “read the land” using high-resolution elevation data and simple mapping tools. We’ll cover the essentials: how water moves (and pools), where the best zones for access or growing might be, and how to spot red flags before they become costly mistakes.

We’ll also explore what landscapes that are in the process of regeneration look like through high resolution topography data.

This webinar is for anyone who wants to make confident, land-smart decisions without needing to become a GIS expert.
