A Little Slice of Terramagne: YardMap
Jul. 1st, 2021 10:44 pmSadly the main program is dormant, but the YardMap concept is awesome, and many of its informative articles remain.
YardMap was a citizen science project that allowed people to upload information about a site's wildlife features. These included homes, parks, refuges, waterways, and so on. See the old tutorial and instructions for characteristics. Specific actions supported the chosen goals. They could also log bird sightings. (The T-American version supported other wildlife sightings.) It helped neighbors find each other and map their community. Terramagne-America has plentiful programs like this to track habitat at municipal, county, state, regional, and national levels for conservation in general or particular themes. The local version(s) is often called something like "Connect the Dots" and assists citizens and staff in providing lines of habitat between parks or reserves so that wildlife can travel in protected areas that offer food, water, and shelter. Citizen science improves sense of place.
