Join the Pound Ridge Land Conservancy on a walk through the beautiful Armstrong Preserve and see how they use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to map features on their property.  Handheld GPS units use satellites in orbit to identify their exact position on the earth.  The same technology is used in cell phones and car-based navigation devices.  PRLC uses this technology to mark the location of interesting things on its preserves and make maps to illustrate their proximity to known features.   Â
This Saturday, Land Steward/Educator, Tate Bushell, will be using a GPS device to mark the boundaries of a deer exclosure that will be erected by the Pound Ridge Land Conservancy to prevent deer browse and encourage the growth of trees and shrubs. Â Participants of this relaxed hike can expect to see some elements of spring on the Armstrong Preserve including returning migratory birds and the early stages of this season’s plant growth. Â Families are welcome. Â Parking available at the top of the driveway.
Date: April 6th
When: 10 am- noon
