Technology now allows us to conduct environmental analyses at a tremendous range of scales. The widest perspective we typically start with is the ecoregion, narrowing down through watershed to plant associations and their localize habitats.

The photos below give an idea of scales and resolutions.

Recent (2003) 1-meter Color (following 3 images)
Digital high resolution aerial photography is available for Kala Point. It is better than 1-meter resolution (2032 dpi) that allows easy identification of trees (even limbs). The 3 photos below, zooming in to the KPOA clubhouse area, are from the same photography set, but acquired as standard resolution (800 dpi), which is much lower quality and resolution.
