Wisconsin GeoTools Project

The Wisconsin Geotools are paired mobile-and web-based applications that allow citizens to create and map natural and cultural observations of meaningful places in their community. As groups of citizens collectively use the geotools, the resulting place-based stories can potentially enrich our understanding of, and appreciation for, the places where we live and the collective value they hold for society.
