On Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at noon and again at 7:00 PM the PA Forests Web Seminar Center will be hosting a webinar entitled Acquiring Property Maps, Boundaries and Attributes for Private Properties Using GIS and GPS. Brent Harding, Senior Land Management Forester at Penn State School of Forest Resources will be presenting. Quick digital acquisition of private property attributes is becoming more accessible every year. Armed with a fast internet connection, a contemporary computer and a willingness to explore federal, state and local websites a landowner or natural resource professional can rapidly investigate a private property from a home or office computer. Within minutes of obtaining a private property tax parcel ID one can obtain a property’s county & township location, size, access, hydrology, notable topography, dominate vegetation, points of interest, lat/long, soils and driving directions. This quick baseline data search is a potential increase in efficiency for a natural resource professional and a potential reduction in cost to a private landowner.
The webinars generally last approximatly one hour and qualify for 1.0 SAF CFE credit hour, Category 1-CF. To view the webinar you will need to register on the Pa Forests webinar Register Now page
