Participants will be trained on how to utilize satellite imagery to do the mapping, either on your own laptop or on provided computers. No experience or equipment required!

After the map hackathon, pizza will be provided. 

Our guest speaker will be Abby Hardy-Moss, Vice President of Stewardship, Planning & Technology at . Abby uses geospatial technology to connect people to nature and embed science into Greenbelt’s conservation work.
