SUMMARY:Intro to GIS using ArcGIS Online: Data Skills
DESCRIPTION:Registration will open 4 weeks before the workshop. \nIn this workshop we will learn how to navigate ArcGIS Online\, kinds of GIS data\, how to add data to a map\, basic symbology and labelling\, how to manually add data to your map\, and how to access analysis functions. \nArcGIS is a Geographic Information System (GIS); a software program for working with maps and geographic data. A GIS allows you to work with any data that you know a location for (eg. addresses\, latitude / longitude\, census locations\, name of a place…). ArcGIS Online can be used in your browser on any computer and is available to the University community by requesting an account. ArcGIS Online has less mapping capability than ArcPro but is easier to use and to learn. We’ll learn some GIS fundamentals and how to get started using ArcGIS Online. \nPLEASE NOTE: \nWhen you register for this workshop you are committing to attend the entire workshop unless otherwise confirmed with the instructor. This workshop has limited attendance available. If you are suddenly not able to attend\, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can offer your spot to someone on our waiting list. \nYou must attend this workshop on a computer (not a mobile device). We cannot troubleshoot software during the session. You will find you are able to participate more fully if you have a 2nd screen on your computer. \nPlease note: this workshop will take place online. A reminder email with the meeting link will be emailed to you 24 hours before the workshop.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tree Identification
DESCRIPTION:Do you love trees but can’t tell an Ash from a Walnut\, a Birch from a Beech\, or a Spruce from a Fir? Are you looking to connect more with the natural world around you? Join Shelley Hunt\, U of Guelph course instructor and former Arboretum Director\, for a virtual\, interactive tree identification workshop. Over the course of four Zoom sessions\, with hands-on challenges to complete in between\, you will learn the basics of tree ID\, with a focus on native Ontario species (and their look-alike non-native counterparts). You will learn about the important features to look for (e.g. leaf shape and arrangement\, bark characteristics\, fruits and cones)\, as well as the details that help us to distinguish between species in the same group (e.g. Ashes\, Pines\, Maples). You will practice your skills on trees that you can find in your local area\, and get feedback on your ‘homework’. The fourth session will include a virtual tour of trees in The Arboretum’s collections. \nPlease Note: This course is only on-line. A separate in-person course is also available on June 19.\nWe also send recordings out after each session\, so if you miss a session you can watch the recording. The recordings are available for one month after the end of the workshop.\nWednesdays\, May 21\, 28\, June 4 and 11\, 2025 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.\nFee: $50 (plus HST) per person.
