- 4. First we had to reset our GPS units to metric units We did this so that everyone's GPS units would be the same and because metric units are universal.
- 5. Rumex Rumex Andy and Christina mapped the Rumex It is a reddish brown color It looks like small milo or sorghum plants
- 6. Fennel Fennel Steven and Tracy mapped the Fennel It is a light green color Smells like black licorice The flowers were white and yellow and looked like cauliflower
- 7. Mapping Landscape – Dry It was like a desert with dry weeds everywhere. There were Jumping Cactuses that somehow got all over you and your clothes. It took about two hours to map all the weeds on the reserve. From the reserve you could see Mexico and the border which was about a mile away.
- 8. Assembling and Analyzing Data There were four groups. We each put our information on different computers. We each put the points and polygons on an aerial photo of the site.
- 9. . Preparing Data for Presentation We then merged all of our maps together to make one complete map of the weeds.
- 10. Finished Map The Rumex is in yellow. The Fennel is in blue.
- 11. International GIS Conferences We also went to the International ESRI Education and Users Conferences. This is Jack Dangermond He is the creator of ESRI. His company designs the GIS software we used to make our maps.
- 12. Map Gallery Our group worked the 4-H booth during the Map Gallery at the ESRI Users Conference. We informed people about our service project and what we did. It was fun because we got to meet a lot of new people while informing them about 4-H and GIS.
