Wildlife Habitat Mapping
Presented by the Community Mapping Program
www.communitymap.org


Saturday, February 26, 2005
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Hanover Street School, Lebanon, NH
(Snow date Sunday, February 27)

  • Would you like to use GPS (Global Positioning Systems) to collect field data on wildlife and habitat?
  • Would you like to see how GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is used to track mammal activity and document habitat conditions in your local school or town forest, or on your own property?

Then join us for this day-long workshop to gain experience using current digital and printed maps, access data on deeryards, bear habitat and land cover, and integrate GPS data to GIS for visual display to better understand local wildlife habitats for long-term monitoring. Outdoors we will practice field methods (bring snowshoes) and use of GPS for data collection. In the computer lab we will have the opportunity to use GIS to examine local data and understand available online mapping tools. Participants will have the opportunity to order a CD with data for their location, hard-copy maps, and GPS units.
