Collect and Record
Capture observations using custom forms designed for your projects and programs. Record audio, photos, text, or structured data — each entry connects to the rest of Trailmark.
Data Review
Review and edit records before uploading to ensure accuracy and completeness. Confirm field information before it becomes part of your community’s wider system.
Synced Data
Access previously synced records, including photos, audio, and submitted entries. Revisit field information and keep it connected to the broader project record.
Custom Forms
Create multiple apps, each tailored to a specific project, workflow, or monitoring need. Record at your current location, tap a point on the map, or enter coordinates — each entry connects to place.
Map Styles
Switch between default and satellite basemaps, add layers for ground-truthing, and download areas in advance for offline use. Stay oriented in the field and keep working where connectivity is limited.
Store, manage, search, and protect digital heritage materials
Trailmark’s Library is an archival management tool and a searchable archive for audio, photos, video, reports, maps, and more. Materials are catalogued with metadata standards, organized into collections, and tagged by keyword, time period, or place. Apply Indigenous Knowledge licenses to protect cultural protocols, batch-upload from a spreadsheet, and publish curated items to your Public Portal when you’re ready to share. An archive that isn’t filed away — it’s connected to the rest of your system and ready to inform decisions.
Bring scattered materials into one place
Store audio, video, photos, reports, maps, interviews, and other digital heritage materials in a searchable archive.
Find what you need, when it matters
Use metadata, collections, keywords, places, time periods, and people to make important materials easier to search, filter, and retrieve.
Protect access with cultural protocols
Apply permissions and Indigenous Knowledge licenses so sensitive materials are viewed by the right people.
Connect to your work
Link library items to places, projects, referrals, field observations, and maps so archived knowledge can support active stewardship and decision-making.
Share curated materials when ready
Publish selected items to a public portal when your team chooses, while keeping private and sensitive records protected inside your system.
View, search, and connect your spatial data
Trailmark’s map is where spatial data from interviews, field collection, surveys, archive, and referrals comes together. Search an area and see everything associated with that place across your entire system — oral histories, monitoring records, survey responses, archived documents. Upload shapefiles, add external data from public portals or industry sources, switch basemaps, and create interactive maps to share or download. No GIS training required.
Not Just GIS
Maps made in Trailmark interact dynamically with oral history and other records, giving you access to the richest knowledge
Everything Connected
Bring together spatial information from interviews, surveys, fieldwork, archives, referrals, and other sources in a single map view.
See how projects, values, observations, heritage materials, and community knowledge overlap in space.
Powerful Search
Search by location to see all the knowledge, records, and materials connected to a place across your system.
Share Maps & Data
Create maps and export spatial data to support planning, reporting, collaboration, and community communication.
Engage your community with built-in mapping
Design surveys for community engagement on topics like harvest access, environmental concerns, wellbeing, or land use planning. Share via weblink, social media, or face-to-face interview. Respondents can tie answers to locations using a built-in mapping component, and results are summarized with simple analytical tools. Surveys work on mobile devices, tablets, or computers — and all responses feed into your broader Trailmark system.
Build Map Surveys
Create surveys that let respondents link their answers directly to places using built-in interactive mapping.
Design Tools
Build surveys that fit your purpose with flexible question types, structure, and layout options.
Use a Range of Input Types
Collect information using text, multiple choice, ratings, and mapped responses in a single survey.
Share Digitally
Distribute surveys by link, device, or interview format so people can participate in the way that works best for them. Use the QR code to give it a try!
View and Export Results
Review incoming responses in one place and export results for reporting, analysis, or further use.
Generate Charts
Turn survey results into simple charts and summaries that make patterns easier to understand and share.
Track, assess, and respond to development applications
Indigenous communities are inundated with consultation requests over proposed developments. Trailmark helps you manage the volume. Intake referrals, screen them for completeness, and assess how a proposed project interacts with your community’s land use, cultural values, and environmental data — right on the map. Triage by priority, track deadlines and follow-ups, generate response templates, and brief leadership with summary reports. The knowledge already in your system becomes the foundation for grounded, evidence-rich responses.
Manage Proponents and Projects
Keep track of proponents, projects, and related files in one place so nothing is lost as referrals come in.
Everything is easily findable: search project documents, correspondence, and related records to find the information you need.
Establish Custom Workflows
Set up referral workflows that reflect your community’s own review process, responsibilities, and timelines.
Predict Impacts
Assess likely impacts by comparing proposed developments against mapped values, land use, and existing community knowledge.
Track Correspondence
Monitor emails, letters, deadlines, follow-ups, and response history throughout the life of a referral.
Monitor Cumulative Impacts
See how multiple projects overlap over time to better understand cumulative effects across your territory.
Share curated stories, maps, and media
Create a secure, branded website to share selected materials with wider audiences — community members, partners, funders, or the public. Curate interactive maps, images, text, and media from your archive and projects. You decide exactly what’s visible and what stays private. A way to tell your community’s story on your own terms, without exposing sensitive information.
Easy Design Tools
Build your own branded public-facing site using simple tools to arrange content, create pages, and manage what people see.
Share Photos, Collections
Publish selected images, documents, media, and collections from your archive in a clear and accessible format.
