What will you learn?
This mapping tool is a must for all natural resource professionals. It is one of the best ways to develop and share map data with landowners as it allows visualization at the landscape level. You can create, save, and share project datasets freely, view historic aerial images, add GPS, photos and even your own aerial images. This section covers basic information about GE navigation, exploratory tools, searches, layers, and data creation in My Places. Data creation will consist of development of project folders and creation of points (placemarks), lines (pathways), and polygons. Importing GPS data will be introduced. Editing spatial data and descriptive information, saving and sharing data files will be covered. learn more here...

Presentation summary:
Bats have been keeping insect populations in check for millions of years. By consuming June bugs, tent caterpillars, corn rootworm beetles, stinkbugs, and other agricultural and forest insect pests, they’ve been performing a valuable ecological service for free. In this webinar we will discuss the ecology of Pennsylvania’s only flying mammals and how the recent outbreak of white-nose syndrome has affected their populations.

Presented by: Richard Fritsky, Regional Wildlife Diversity Biologist, Pennsylvania Game Commission
