Skill Share - Map & Compass

The demystification of the topographical map and the simple magnetic compass! What a great time we had learning about terrain features, declination, true north, magnetic north, sighting, headings, map quadrants, distances, etc. We learned our personal pace count, how to read a topographical map, how to use a protractor, how to calculate a compass heading, and how to sight an object at our heading. Thanks for the great handouts and pace counter, Jude...

This workshop will be offered again soon and HOWL hopes to establish a compass course on the land for women to practice. More to come!

What is HOWL

Dedicated to the conservation and stewardship of the land, HOWL (Huntington Open Women's Land) is situated on 50 beautiful acres in the heart of the Green Mountains of Vermont. It was founded in 1986, the feminist vision of a group of womyn who created a women's land trust that would provide women safe access to the healing energy that comes from the earth.
