The presentation will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the Patton Township Municipal Building, near State College, Pa.
There is also an option to hear the presentation through a webinar at the same time. Click Here for details.
The Chesapeake Commons Tool is a free web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and data management tool available to all organizations working to restore the Chesapeake Bay. The Tool is designed to serve as a centralized knowledge base of data, maps, and articles contributed by government, nonprofits, funders, and citizen organizers.
Policy makers will have a centralized pool of peer vetted information from which they can make the best possible decisions in the context of the Bay restoration effort.
Chesapeake Commons is a project developed and funded by the Chesapeake Bay Funders Network with financial support from the John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics and the Environment.
