2019 venture vermont: Make a map of your favorite natural area.

i'm not sure if i'm cheating or if i'm overachieving.

arguably my favorite natural area is twin hills girl scout camp, where i am the naturalist.

i can't so much say that i drew a map of it, but i did do the scouting to find the route of the old blue trail and use GPS to map it out. we're trying to identify its old path that was disrupted by logging operations and we're looking for places to repair or reroute it.

additionally, we need to plan some connector trails and most importantly on our to-do list for that is we need a new trail sited that will be appropriate for use by very young girls or for groups looking for an easy and pretty accessible walk instead of the monster that the old blue trail was.

if you want to look at my map, it's here.

this represents my walking of the property. the blue trail is represented by the blue line, and stone walls and other points of interest are also marked. i have annotated some of the proposed areas for new trail, but i'll be working this fall with an intern to set new trail in the vicinity of the pink line.

does this count as drawing a map? does putting it on the anr atlas count as sending it to the department of forest, parks, and recreation, which is a subsidiary of the anr? i really hope so, because i'm counting it.
