UC Cooperative Extension is excited to be offering a GIS for Foresters and Natural Resource Managers hands-on training in Santa Cruz on July 20th and 21st.
This two-day technical workshop will be geared toward practitioner-GIS users that need a refresher and hands-on, expert guided assistance in the use of GIS and local natural resource data in their planning and decision making. The course uses exercises based on forest and natural resources management applications and includes topics on cartography, data management, ArcGIS Online (AGOL), and participant-driven topics.
In addition to hands-on exercises, the workshop will include a demonstration of the use of terrestrial lidar in forestry, share new GIS extension tools developed for the Santa Cruz Mountains, and provide an open workshop period on the second afternoon. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data and hardware to work on personal projects with UC experts from our Informatics and GIS Program (IGIS).
Registration required -- space is limited to 20 students! Please feel free to share this opportunity with your staff and colleagues.
