Mapping in service of Hawaiʻi
This work is rooted in these islands, and we have a kuleana to give back to them. Alongside our client work, we volunteer geospatial services to Hawaiian cultural and nonprofit projects, and we teach the next generation how their islands are mapped.
Geospatial work for cultural & nonprofit projects
Many of the organizations doing the most important work in Hawaiʻi — caring for ʻāina, restoring habitat, protecting wahi pana and cultural sites — don't have a mapping budget. We donate that piece. GIS, mapping, LiDAR, drone imagery, and consulting, offered to cultural and nonprofit projects that need it, on their terms and at their pace.
We approach this work with humility. Sensitive places are documented carefully, only when welcomed, and always in service of the people who hold kuleana for them.
Teaching the next generation
We share what we do with students — how drones, LiDAR, GIS, and remote sensing turn an island into data, and how that data helps care for the land. If you teach in Hawaiʻi and want to bring real geospatial work into the classroom or the field, we'd love to help.
Supporting wildland fire pilots
Wildfire is one of the clearest threats to Hawaiʻi's land and communities. We support the UAS Wildland Fire Collaborative, a nonprofit building a standardized pipeline that gets drone fire data into the hands of incident teams the same hour. If you're a wildland-fire UAS pilot working in Hawaiʻi, it's a resource worth knowing — reach out and we'll connect you.
An invitation
If you lead a Hawaiian cultural project, a nonprofit, or a school and think geospatial work could help, please reach out. No budget required — just a real need and a place worth caring for.
