Are you looking to improve your map and compass skills? Do you volunteer to monitor conservation easements or boundary lines, or just want to feel more comfortable walking off-trail in the woods? This training will introduce you to basic map and compass skills. We’ll spend ~ 2 hours indoors learning the basics before heading outside to put our new skills to the test. Perfect for conservation commissioners, land trust volunteers, private landowners, or others interested in navigating off-trail.

Limited to 12 participants. In order to ensure this program is accessible for all, there are three registration fee options - $0, $5, or $10. Please pay what you can.

Women in the Woods is a collaboration between UNH Cooperative Extension, NH Timberland Owners Association, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and other partners aimed at connecting women landowners and land managers with the resources, skills, and community they need to make informed stewardship decisions that promote healthy forest resources.
