You are invited to the capstone presentation of Katelynn Dearth, "Using Geographic Information to Increase Safe, Sustainable Recreation on the Mississippi River Water Trail" on June 12th at 6:00 pm.
Recreation fosters appreciation and stewardship of natural areas. However, many barriers exist between user groups and recreational opportunities. By providing geospatial information of the Mississippi River Water Trail to the public, the Mississippi River Water Trail Association is fulfilling their mission of promoting conservation through recreation. Developing user-oriented geographic information required collecting and interpreting data from many stakeholders, a rigorous decision-making process to define pertinent versus erroneous or irrelevant information. Using these guidelines an interactive online map and twenty-six printable maps were created. The resulting website, included maps, aims to reduce barriers to recreation and promote stewardship of the Mississippi River Water Trail.
