NED - Forest Ecosystem Decision Support Software

Our forest land is part of the future.  What we do now to our land affects trees, birds, animals, plants, and all living things in the forest for more than a generation.

It affects whoever may own the land in the future - our children, grandchildren, or someone we may never meet.  If affects our neighbors and the local community.  By taking care of our land now, we can ensure a healthy forest for future generations of all living things.  The future of the forest is in our hands now.

NEDLite for the PocketPC and Windows Mobile/CE

As of September 28, 2007, a companion product, NEDLite for CE, is available to run on Windows CE/Windows Mobile handheld devices.  It is available as a beta version.   Click here to download (54MB).   View the readme file for rudimentary instructions on installing the software.  We do not yet have a Help System for this version of NEDLite, so please be advised that little in the way of "self help" is available.   While this product was designed to resemble the Palm OS version of NEDLite as closely as possible, there are some important differences.  We are currently working on a users manual/help system.
