Heritage Monitoring Scouts Training
Time: 10:00 am til 12:00 pm
Location: Weedon Island Preserve, 1800 Weedon Dr NE St. Petersburg, 33702
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 the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) staff for this information session 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. Following this introductory session, FPAN will organize a number of scout meet-ups to visit sites by foot and canoe so that you can get involved and protect archaeological sites near you! This event is free and open to the public.
Recommended for all ages.
