Swift Creek Watershed ArcGIS Story Map
As my end of semester project, I have compiled all of the work I have done this semester into one ArcGIS Story Map. My story map can be found by following this link: Story Map
I am currently a student in the Master's of Natural Resource program at Virginia Tech. I created this blog to document my hikes and nature encounters and also for several projects related to my coursework. Initially, this blog was used to document my watershed stewardship of the Swift Creek Reservoir. As of Spring 2018, this blog will focus on my citizen science work; specifically with Nature's Notebook. I will post pictures and descriptions of several plant species found in Virginia.
Holly, nice profile of HAL. I am happy to see other non-profit education and advocacy groups focusing on watershed health rather than strictly one body of water. It's often a much more comprehensive approach than even some public agencies take.
ReplyDeleteProtection of the watershed and addressing threats to quality drinking water are admirable goals, but I tend not to equate environmental consciousness with advocacy for reservoirs -- which are purely anthropocentric and quite environmentally destructive (though perhaps more lovable than a sewer line). I suppose that this is one of those occasions when issues create unlikely bedfellows.
