The Grassroots Mapping Forum is printed on a two 22.75x35" sheets of acid-free paper, and includes a full color reproduction of a grassroots map along with essays, illustrated guides, and interviews. It's a great way to stay abreast of the latest in the DIY environmental science movement. ##Issue #5 The International Issue (Q2 2014)  Issue 5 is focused on highlighting the Public Lab community around the world. It's also our first edition printed in color.
