The St Helena Environmental Information System [SHEIS] has recently been developed further and is now an established information tool for several organisations on the Island.  The computer software provides a map of the entire island using aerial photographs as the base upon which several other data sources can be overlaid.  Apart from the usual contours, roads and urban development, property boundaries, Wirebird survey areas and nest locations, Millennium Forest & Peak Dale plantation boundaries and locations of historic buildings can be added as required.

The routes of water pipe lines [see page one] are among several other data bases still to be included.  If the data was already recorded it would save us considerable searching in the Peak Dale undergrowth.
