Hey everyone!

I took more GPS point, over 200 this time! I marked the ATV trails, vernal pools and stream run offs. There was already the initial 'farm' road, but I found a set of ATV trails winding through the parcel. I noticed one seemed to run right through a vernal pool, not ideal. There was also a tree stand someone put up for hunting on the property. I am in the process of transferring the points to ArcGIS, so look back soon for another map update.

Some progress!
 
 
I took some initial GPS points of the existant trail on the premises. I have found some potential vernal pools, stream runoffs, and other atv trails on the property that I am going back to plot. The data pertaining to wetlands shows a large area alongside the stream to be of forest/shrub wetland, although it seems this has changed over time. I will be back out in the near future to collect the remaining points of interest.
