AGFORCE – FREE Computer Mapping Workshops – North Burnett
Get back into property computer mapping with Agforce Project’s new refresher workshops.
Launched this month, Spatial 102 is designed to assist producers who have already attended an introductory computer mapping course or have dabble with mapping software at home. However beginners are also welcome.
The free workshop offers revision of basic computer mapping skills in either FarmKeeper or Phoenix computer mapping programs, followed by instruction in more advanced mapping functions such as capturing a paddock’s grazing pressure circles or designing a fire management plan.
This workshop will improve producers’ knowledge of their property and result in better farm management decisions.
Participants will receive:
- Latest property digital data containing (based on your lot on plan):
- Landsat and/or SPOT5 satellite imagery
- Moratorium Map
- Regional Ecosystem map
- Watercourses
- Wetlands (if applicable)
