ThINC Nature House: Saturday, Aug 6

10:00 am start: Map the Portal with Liam Irwin at the Nature House (all ages)

Drones, Lidar, and mapping are the focus of this workshop and will be utilized to make a virtual 3D model of the Portal! A demo drone flight will collect images from above and be compiled together to create a model of the area. Liam will introduce the science of remote sensing and show example 3D models of Moore Hill and other Thetis Island sites, exposing their unique topography! Liam will discuss the use of these tools in ecology, forestry, and beyond. We will also have a kid’s mapping activity and treasure hunt!
