Continuing my journey in the Biodiversity Stewardship class, this week we took time to collect and organize climate links to our area of study. My area of study, as mentioned in previous blogs, is the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.
If y'all have never played around on the Web Soil Survey website, let me tell you, it blew my mind. I had no idea that such a powerful, FREE, resource existed to study the soil types of any given area in the United States.
I found this mapping exercise to be quite enjoyable. One of my favorite hobbies is looking at paper maps to plan my hikes, and playing around with Google My Maps to create a useful map of the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest with different layers was a lot of fun.
