Touch of Green GIS
About
Touch of Green GIS provides practical, screening-level mapping and spatial analysis for environmental and land-related questions. The goal is simple: translate spatial data into clear, decision-ready outputs that help clients plan, prioritize, and act.
What we do
We build GIS workflows that combine elevation, soils, land cover, and hydrology into maps and short interpretations that are usable by non-technical stakeholders. Deliverables are designed for planning and early decisions—not just technical demonstration.
- Parcel-scale screening and suitability modeling
- Hydrology / runoff and terrain context mapping
- Habitat, restoration, and environmental suitability
- Solar and site feasibility screening
Who this helps
Landowners, conservation organizations, small municipalities, and project teams that need clear spatial context for planning, risk reduction, restoration prioritization, and site evaluation across the Quad Cities region and beyond.
- Early planning and feasibility checks
- Restoration and land management support
- Risk awareness and mapping communication
- Clear exhibits for internal discussions
Approach
Projects are scoped around a specific question and a clear decision point. Assumptions and thresholds are stated up front, datasets are documented, and outputs are delivered in a readable format. When useful, local field observations can supplement desk-based analysis.
About the operator
Touch of Green GIS was established by Dmitriy Serykh. Work is grounded in environmental science and applied GIS practice, with an emphasis on local context and practical land-use decisions. The focus is on clear communication and defensible, transparent methods.
Connection to the land
Much of this work is informed by hands-on interest in conservation, site conditions, and how landscapes function in the real world. The goal is to produce analysis that feels “local” and usable — because it is.
