Mapping for Evaluation: Utilizing the Texas Healthy Parks Plan, Gen:Thrive, Texas Nature Challenge, and Survey 123 to Tell Your Story

March 26, 2025 9am

Telling your program's story is an important part of your work - from grant writing to planning, to community engagement and so much more. Maps can be a big part of telling your story. Join Texas Children in Nature Network, AgriLife, Texas A&M Forest Service, and the Welder Wildlife Foundation in this workshop looking at FREE mapping tools to help you tell your story. Start the day learning about Survey 123 and how you can use this software to collect data about your programs and community input toward building new projects like Green Schoolyards. The second half of the day will look at the Healthy Parks Plan from Texas Parks and Wildlife and Trust for Public Lands, and the Gen:Thrive map from EcoRise to look at how you tell the story about why greenspace is important for your community. Then take a tour of the Welder Wildlife Foundation Refuge and work together to create a sample evaluation process for your work.

Complete your day with time with all three projects to start your story!
