This is a virtual program. 

Did you know the very first map from Green Goat Maps is in our library’s archive? Ezra is excited to share how Green Goat Maps came to be what it is today. He’ll cover how and why Green Goat Maps came to be as well as how his team is influencing recreation and policy decisions across the state. He’ll also share the progress they have made in supporting accessibility efforts of land trusts and in welcoming a more diverse group of recreationists. He’ll share examples of maps and interpretive kiosks that are scattered around the state while explaining how and why they were designed in the way they are.

Sobre el ponente:

Ezra Schwartzberg is originally from Saranac Lake and spent 10 years working in academia in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin researching invasive species. Ezra moved back to Saranac Lake in 2012 with a goal to use his passion for research to improve regional social and environmental issues. This led to performing field surveys of invasive species and then to creating beautiful maps. In recent years, the maps he and his team makes have taken on a life of their own  working their way into stores as waterproof outdoor recreation maps, onto nature preserves in the form of wayfinding and trailhead kiosks, and into research studies for invasive species management.
