Learn the basic functions and uses of the Avenza mapping app while gaining hands-on experience in a collaborative, in-person workshop. Avenza is a free, accessible mapping app for anyone - landowners, professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Join Hannah Dallas, S. Windsor County Forester, Kelly Beerman, Farm & Wilderness Conservation Director, and Kate Forrer, Vermont Woodlands Association, for a 4-hour field workshop located at Farm & Wilderness in Plymouth, VT.
We will review how to access the app, upload maps, what functions & uses it provides for the user, and set up small-group field sessions for participants to practice using the variety of tools the Avenza has to offer. Hannah, Kelly, and Kate will share their experiences and tips for using the app and guide participants in the small-group field sessions. All experience levels are welcome, this event is meant to be a collaborative learning experience for everyone!
