This video covers the basics of QGIS, such as how to set up your workspace and perform the basic functions like importing data. If you are already familiar with QGIS you may wish to skip ahead to Exercise 2: Data Management.

Gaia Resources, in partnership with State NRM and South Coast NRM, have put together a series of beginner QGIS training videos for environmental practitioners and enthusiasts.

Gaia Resources aims to give back to the environmental community, and as such these videos will be made freely available. If you would like to access the manual and training data, please email us at:
