Landscape Project Training and Info Session June 12 in New Jersey

Come learn about the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife’s recently updated Landscape Project, an interactive ecosystem-based mapping tool that assists government agencies, planners, conservation groups, the public and others in making decisions that will protect wildlife. Version 3.1 of the Landscape Project was released February 21, 2012 and includes a number of updates and enhancements such as new species’ statuses and a more precise mapping method.

An upcoming Landscape Project training and information session will be hosted by:

The Richard Stockton College, Galloway, NJ, on Tuesday, June 12, 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

The training and information session will cover the updates and enhancements to the project and participants will have an opportunity to use GIS “hands-on” to access habitat maps for threatened and endangered wildlife species. Registration is required and seating is limited so please register as soon as possible.

To register, please e-mail: patrick.woerner@dep.state.nj.us
