Peterborough ON – January 20, 2021
Professor Erin McGauley teaches the Applied Ecology course in the EnvironmentalTechnology program. Normally, the course begins with a field trip toa provincially significant wetland on Lake Ontario near Port Hope. But 2020 wasnot a normal year, so Prof. McGauley got creative.
To emulate the rich learning experience from the field trip, she createda virtual field trip using Fleming's ArcGIS license and ESRI's StoryMapproduct.
The resulting StoryMap (https://arcg.is/0Oqe4e) allowed her to:
- showcase wildlife observations
- compile air photos for comparison
- embed a video about wetland boundary delineation
- incorporate historical information, and
- include a call to action re wetland conservation
- The Delridge Wetland, located on 23rd Ave SW and SW Findlay St, is a project spearheaded by DNDA to protect, restore, preserve and expand the existing wetland to improve water quality in Longfellow Creek, meanwhile developing the space as a public park for all to enjoy.
- The Regional Strategy 2018 will guide wetland restoration for the WRP over the next few decades using scientifically-based, quantitative objectives that will improve wetland resilience to climate change and other stressors. These objectives will help guide all levels of stakeholders in the wetlands community from resource agencies to funders to.

We are a group of wetland scientists and students based in the Wolfson Carbon Capture Laboratories (WCCL) at Bangor University in North Wales, UK. Our research and teaching span the breadth of the discipline; from the use of constructed treatment wetlands to the.
A group of activists, helped by the first-ever environmental impact study, successfully stopped the venture. Soggy Cities Some of the biggest cities in the U.S. Were built on top of wetlands, including Boston, Massachusetts; San Francisco, California; and Washington, D.C.
StoryMaps lend themselves to general-interest review, andas a result, she was able to share the link beyond the Fleming community.The result:

- The StoryMap provided a platform for outreach to the numerous private landowners with whom she has built relationships, and who permit Fleming students and faculty to tromp through their backyards each year.
- By sharing the StoryMap, she was able to initiate conversations with landowners. She learned about childhood horse-drawn sleigh rides and shinny games on frozen wetland ice, the strong connections between protecting this wetland and the formation of the local Willow Beach Field Naturalist group, and the neighbourly relationships at work in the stewardship of this provincially important habitat. She was also able to share what Fleming students study during their wetland field trip.
- The StoryMap allowed her to reach out to colleagues at the Municipality of Clarington, one of whom holds the position of GIS Technologist (a Fleming grad). Through her network, she was able to obtain fine-detail elevation mapping and a fly-over elevation video of the Port Britain wetland to enhance the Story Map for next year.
Best mac matte lipsticks for dark skin. This StoryMap will continue to enrich studentexperiences as a reference resource, even in years where ET students have hadtheir boots in the wetland muck. It also provides an alternative learningopportunity in instances where students might miss the field trip or can'tattend because of physical accessibility challenges.
Prof. McGauley says that is the best part of this push topivot to online delivery – it's not a one-off effort, but work that faculty andstudents can continue to reap benefits from into the future.
