It will include a summary of your expectations and duties as a property monitor, why and what we monitor, how to fill out a monitoring form, lessons in navigation using maps, compass, and GPS, and some practice in the field. Participants are encouraged to monitor at least one Hilltown Land Trust property in the spring season.
