The Institute for Resource Information Systems (I.R.I.S.2 - the non-profit
branch of Integrated Resource Information Systems) is willing to provide you with thousands of dollars of FREE Forestry, Natural Resource, and Environmental software. All we ask is that you cover the time necessary to install the software and provide you with 1 hour of training per program.
These software programs will help you work faster, cheaper, and smarter,
while also improving the management and conservation of our natural resources. Although our PC/Handheld User Interface is NOT required for these programs, it provides a very nice shell for running them, managing their databases, and experimenting with different
software configurations. These Windows and Windows-compatible programs
