Have you ever wanted to find traces of that long-gone mill you saw on an old map, or an old road that you have heard about? A new imaging tool – LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) might just help with the search. LiDAR uses laser light that projected from an airplane in flight to create 3-dimensional images of the landscape in incredible detail. These aerial maps show general contours, as well as more subtle features, such as stone walls, cellar holes, and old roads, even when these features lie deep in the woods or under the earth.

On Wednesday evening, October 17, from 7-8:30 pm in the library at the Glover Community School, Randy Williams of the Glover Historical Society will share how to access and interpret these LiDAR maps, which are available for every town on the Vermont Center for Geographic Information's website. Randy has been exploring the Glover LiDAR maps for the secrets they reveal, and his presentation will introduce you to the use and interpretation of the LIDAR imagery, no matter what town in Vermont you are interested in.

Come join us and see what surprises the Lidar maps expose! Randy will be exploring areas in Glover, but interested parties from any towns are welcome; you can learn the process and then explore your own town at home.
