Heritage Monitoring Scouts: Learn to be a Scout!
Time: 9:00 am til 2:30 pm
Location: FPAN Coordinating Center and Tarkiln Bayou State Park
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 Florida Public Archaeology Network Coordinating Center (207 E Main Street, Pensacola), a break for lunch, and some site monitoring practice in the afternoon at Tarkiln Bayou State Park (2401 Bauer Road, Pensacola)!
This event is free and open to the public. To RSVP, contact Nicole Grinnan at ngrinnan@uwf.edu or 850-595-0050 ext. 103. Transportation to Tarkiln Bayou in the afternoon is not provided.
FPAN is hosting this event.
