The Forest Department of the canton of Argovia has been working with the Geographical Information System (GIS) since 1991. Apart from collecting the data, which uses the greater part of the resources, other areas have been developed (e.g., mapping). A number of programmes have been developed that facilitates the user's access to the increasingly complex structure of the database. An efficient, canton-wide network with central data processing and decentralised responsibility for the up-dating of the data has fostered a lively use of data between specialist units. Using a number of case studies we show that the work of the Forest Department can no longer be imagined without GIS.
