Land Preservation Society
The Land Preservation Society (LPS) of Norton is a small non-profit land conservation organization I have been involved with since 2018. Over that time, LPS has served as an informal GIS learning ground for me. I've GPS-mapped trail systems, developed trail maps, and created interactive GIS applications for the organization. LPS also became the case study for my Master's thesis in GIS, giving me the chance to apply academic research methods to a real conservation challenge I already knew well. Recently I joined the Board of Directors, and continue to provide GIS support to LPS.
