Cartography Community Mapping, CCM, offers pro bono [1] mapping services to non-profit organizations such as Landcare groups.  The maps have proved useful for resource management and as support material for reports and grant applications.

Other non-profit organizations may have application for maps in "how to get here brochures" or for training purposes.

Maps can be provided in any of the standard graphical file formats (usually PDF) and georeferenced formats.

Some of the maps that CCM has prepared are available via the Folio Miscellanea page.

Organizations such as tourist centres and Landcare groups are welcome to distribute hardcopies of the maps for free.

Modifications to the maps in any format by reverse engineering, deletions, additions or other techniques are not permitted.

The only legitimate electronic source of the CCM maps is this site, they must not be loaded (in any format) onto any other distribution entity.
