About the Instructor
Bo Wilmer has 24 years of experience in the geospatial industry with a strong background in ecology. He has worked as a GIS Analyst for USGS and Resource Data, Inc., as a Senior Landscape Ecologist for The Wilderness Society, and currently as the Natural Resources Program Manager for Critigen, a transportation GIS consulting firm. Wilmer also designed and taught Alaska Pacific University’s first GIS curriculum.
Why my course is useful
Anyone coming out of the biology and ecology fields that wants to contribute to forest planning will benefit from having these technical and planning skills that are not likely offered in an agency or college course. Â
Why I built it
I have seen how the planning process has been fairly loose and non standard in its use of GIS tools across different forests. So I created this class to inform more people on how to use the best GIS science in support of planning.
What I hope for you
I’d love to see more people with these skills get hired so that the planning process could take much less time than the current 10 year average. Forest plans extend beyond the federal level into the various states. Please bring these skills to any of these agencies nationally to be part of the modernization of forest planning. Â

Bo, you are my role model for how you have developed a profession and network in the GIS industry.
I liked how you got us to create a variety of forest planning maps for the forest of our choicie. I mapped the forest I hike.
The instructor made me feel very comfortable asking questions about web GIS. I felt very good about my work.
The maps I made were cool. The demos had a couple mismatches in software versions but I figured it out.
Each map I made in this class is sitting on my Linkedin profile. Thanks Bo!
