“The thing I like most about Scribble is how easy it is to use. I also love how I can create any maps from scratch. A lot of the maps that I have created are not geo referenced. This has been very helpful to me when I have been creating these farm maps.”

Why Scribble Maps for Forestry & Timber

Cut blocks in minutes

Sketch cut blocks, stand boundaries, riparian buffers and access roads on satellite imagery. No GIS training required.

Brief the contractor by link

Can I import existing stand data from a GIS?

Yes. Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON or GPX. Existing stands and inventory data drop directly onto the map.

Can I share a cut block map with my logger?

Yes. Click Share, copy the link and text it to the contractor. They open it on a phone. No app, no install.

Can I draw a riparian buffer around a stream?
