DJ Case web developers strategized with the U.S. Forest Service's Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science team to structure a self-guided, online decision support and planning application that offers resource managers a structured, intuitive process for considering climate impacts and how to adapt based on their own individual objectives.

DJ Case web app developers migrated the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program's voluminous content and data structures from a SharePoint legacy system into revitalized online tools that allow biologists and engineers to easily manage content, collaborate with stakeholders, and visualize data. Though surprisingly simple and unassuming on the front end, PlatteRiverProgram.org features tremendous power under the hood. A behind-the-scenes Mongo database provides rigorous and adaptive species and habitat monitoring/reporting systems. A custom digital asset management system provides tools for program committees to collaborate efficiently.

DJ Case public engagement strategists and web developers worked with Dr. Stan Gehrt and his team to design and develop a website that serves as the Cook County Urban Coyote Research Program's primary public engagement tool.

Developed in collaboration with Northeastern state wildlife agencies as a trusted source for sound, legal and responsible wildlife control and damage prevention advice. The site features adaptive mobile delivery with content tailored to a visitor's location. Visitors can find solutions to implement themselves or they can locate professional nuisance wildlife control operators by proximity.

DJ Case mashed up skill sets in web development, GIS mapping and conservation communication to develop a system that speaks to non-technical woodland owners.

Facilitated the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approach to adopting new web-based communications tools and techniques. Before this effort, FWS had virtually no social media presence, guidance or policy. This effort paved the way for a future where daily public information sharing is transparent, encouraged and decentralized — allowing for rapid production and social media deployment of information by talented communicators throughout the agency.
