? What should you do now that burrowing owl is a candidate for CESA listing? ???Use our interactive mapping tool to determine whether your project site is subject to burrowing owl mitigation measures of an existing HCP/NCCP. https://lnkd.in/gr9sdKEK ?If your project site IS in within the boundaries of an existing HCP/NCCP, you'll need to research the plan's mitigation requirements. ??

?? Happy GIS Day! ?? This year's theme, Mapping Minds, Shaping the World, reflects the innovative #GIS work happening at Dudek, and we’re proud to celebrate the role GIS plays in our work. In a recent Esri webinar, our Mapping and Surveying Practice Director, Steven Hochart, shared how Dudek is using Esri’s GeoAI to improve efficiency and accuracy for our clients. By integrating drone imagery with machine learning, we’ve streamlined workflows for planimetric creation and digital twin development while making infrastructure mapping safer and more effective. ?? A standout example? Automating the identification of water system features in roadways, reducing the need for higher-risk fieldwork while ensuring seamless integration into utility network systems. These advancements empower civil engineers, site designers, and planners to make data-driven decisions across a project’s lifecycle. ?? Watch the full webinar to see how Dudek is using drones and GIS technology to shape the world. https://lnkd.in/g3G7ZZ_V #GISDay #GeoAI #DigitalTwins #Innovation #MappingMindsShapingTheWorld
