Heritage Monitoring Scouts: Learn to be a Scout!
Time: 9:30 am til 3:00 pm
Location: Heritage Museum of Northwest Florida, 115 Westview Ave., Valparaiso, FL 32580
Description: Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS Florida) is a public engagement program focused on tracking changes to archaeological sites at risk, particularly those impacted by climate change in the form of erosion and sea level rise.
Join Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) staff for this fun workshop to learn how to become a Heritage Monitoring Scout! We will talk about threats to archaeological sites, how to identify some common site types and artifacts, and the best way to record and monitor them. This workshop includes presentations in the morning at the Heritage Museum of Northwest Florida, a break for lunch, and some site monitoring practice in the afternoon at the nearby Rocky Bayou State Park!
This event is free and open to the public. To RSVP, contact Nicole Grinnan at ngrinnan@uwf.edu or 850-595-0050 ext. 103.
