What is FieldDoc?

Tracking the impacts of nature-based activities is rooted in strong data management. By using FieldDoc, you're on your way to growing a vibrant portfolio of nature-based Activities with data that can be mapped, measured, managed, and shared from a single source of truth.

Whether you are a restoration professional receiving funds to install restoration and conservation practices on the ground, a technical service provider with the skills to move dirt or data, a BMP aggregator tracking installations to inform policy goals, or a funder investing in this work -- FieldDoc is your go-to data management tool to cultivate and grow your initiatives.

Introduction to FieldDoc

FieldDoc is built to make managing, analyzing, and visualizing nature-based solutions easier, helping users track the impact of their environmental investments. By using advanced modeling techniques and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the platform offers powerful tools for monitoring, assessment, funding, and reporting on environmental outcomes.

What sets FieldDoc apart is how it transforms collaboration between conservationists, policymakers, and stakeholders. Initially focused on helping funders and grantees track restoration and conservation practices together, we've since expanded to cover a wider range of activities and applications. FieldDoc acts as a central hub, bridging the gap between earth science models, investors, and restoration practitioners. With integrated analytics and implementation tracking, it enables users to effectively measure, report, and verify the success of environmental projects across diverse landscapes.

Restoration Practitioners

Come for the impact assessment, stay to do the work.

Many restoration practitioners start using FieldDoc to share their proposed work for grant funding, but there’s no reason to stop there. FieldDoc makes it simple to track your entire portfolio of nature-based projects, from initial planning all the way through implementation. It’s a comprehensive system that lets you easily view progress and scale your impact. Plus, FieldDoc brings transparency to the process, helping everyone involved assess what’s working and make adjustments to tackle changing environmental challenges.

Program Managers

What gets measured gets done

Leading conservation and restoration funders use FieldDoc to collect critical geospatial and metric information from their fund recipients, turning data from individual grants into program-wide atlases on the detailed landscape and impact of their investments.

Built to Grow

The Commons has built FieldDoc intending to make the system user-friendly to non-technical users but also robust enough to make sure that data surrounding nature-based solutions becomes a valuable asset to all stakeholders. This is a way-station for your environmental intervention data. The system standardizes critical data and compiles it for sharing with third-party systems. The more data that you put into this system and the more funders we support collecting information here, the better off we will all be at understanding the landscape of restoration, conservation, and nature-based activities being installed at a breathtaking rate.
