Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are revolutionizing the way we manage natural resources. The Virginia 4-H NREE Curriculum Committee has purchased six standard kits and one advanced kit of GPS units and other items for use by trained 4-H volunteer leaders and agents. To request or receive information about future training, contact Mike Clifford, 4-H Volunteer, mjc4h@vt.edu.Return to Natural Resources and Environmental Education
