Welcome Spring - Awakening and Activating

By Wendy Brawer | Director

Ride into Spring with Green Map!
Ride into Spring with Green Map!

April features Earth Day, of course, and hopeful signs of spring. At these stressful times, work grounded in one’s own community can be a balm for your outlook - mapping is a power tool for uncertain times. Giving voice that shapes our common future, it’s now the season for digging in, spurring growth for all.  

We have continued our monthly series of Open Hours, where we invite everyone to come share knowledge and get questions answered about making Green Maps. Over the winter, each month had a theme, and for each, a slidedeck was created, like this one, made for the Icons discussion in March. It’s the most accessible of these decks as a standalone resource (both Teamwork in January, and Surveys in February were part of technical demonstrations). In the fall, we added new videos that demonstrate our new Website Builder, too. 

As noted in this overview of resources, our Platform prioritizes collaboration with customizable engagement tools that make it easy to engage your community. Locally-led mapping teams are using a mix of techniques with their various projects. 

During a recent Open Hour, EcoRise took part, and we found that this US educational organization has been using Green Map tools for years. I met with their staff member and together, we planned a workshop.

Anel followed up: “Teachers really enjoyed the webinar.” Would they recommend it to another teacher?

      "Yes! It's a creative way for students to engage with their surroundings and problem-solve for current issues through spatial awareness and advocacy."

     "Absolutely, this is amazing information and an important tool for life."

We’re planning to meet with EcoRise again soon. Let us know if you're working with educators who could benefit from a webinar, and how mapmaking resources can help your work thrive.
