mapping curriculum: first flight

2 | 5 | | #390

As part of the Grassroots Mapping Curriculum series.

Getting started in the field. Quick checklist before going out to do actual field work: - understanding which materials you would like to use and how they work - review of all safety matters and regulations - acceptable weather conditions

The strategy for mapping a particular site will depend on the area of interest. How large is the area? What potential hazards are present, if any?
