Mission
• Service Project‒ Our job was mapping invasive weeds
• Where‒ Tijuana Slough Wildlife Reserve, San Diego, CA
• Why/Purpose‒ To help the reserve by mapping invasive weeds so
that they could come in and get rid of the weeds themselves.

Reserve Guide
• Showed us what we would be mapping
• Showed us a map of the reserve
• Showed us where we would be mapping

First we had to reset our GPS units to metric units
We did this so that everyone's GPS units would be the same and because metric units are universal.

Rumex• Rumex– Andy and Christina
mapped the Rumex– It is a reddish brown
color – It looks like small
milo or sorghum plants

Fennel• Fennel – Steven and Tracy
mapped the Fennel– It is a light green color– Smells like black
licorice– The flowers were
white and yellow and looked like cauliflower

Mapping
• Landscape – Dry – It was like a desert with dry weeds everywhere.– There were Jumping Cactuses that somehow got all over
you and your clothes.
• It took about two hours to map all the weeds on the reserve.
• From the reserve you could see Mexico and the border which was about a mile away.

Assembling and Analyzing Data
• There were four groups. We each put our information on different computers.
• We each put the points and polygons on an aerial photo of the site.

.
• We then merged all of our maps together to make one complete map of the weeds.

International GIS Conferences
• We also went to the International ESRI Education and Users Conferences.
• This is Jack Dangermond– He is the creator of ESRI. – His company designs the
GIS software we used to make our maps.

Map Gallery
Our group worked the 4-H booth during the Map Gallery at the ESRI Users Conference.
We informed people about our service project and what we did.
It was fun because we got to meet a lot of new people while informing them about 4-H and GIS.
