Nonprofit Landowners Web Site
Remnant Prairies is a nonprofit environmental project created to provide a variety of information services to landowners who hold small parcels of original prairie — which are about the only kinds that are left. These services center around helping preserve, improve, and when possible, expand these remnant areas. To this end, the organization wanted a site that accomplished the following: The Epimetrics Epicenter platform was a natural starting point for this organization’s web presence. The People and Groups tools handle the required membership and compartmentalization needs that divide access to areas in the site according to user roles and project memberships. Out of the box, this provides each landowner her own working area for her operations. The database-backed Ruby on Rails infrastructure supported building out the other systems needed: With these various tools always available over the Internet, distributed groups of people can collaborate in planning, performing, and evaluating their efforts at habitat restoration in these threatened parcels. |
