Last December, fifteen Greater Princeton AYLUS (GPA) members registered with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and became official volunteers for the USGS National Map Corps (TNMCorps, https://edits.nationalmap.gov/tnmcorps/). TNMCorps is a community of volunteers who review and confirm the data of the structures that are going into The National Map, including the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Recently, GPA volunteer Catherine Feng has entered the Order of the Surveyor’s Chain (25-49), the Society of the Steel Tape (50-99), the Pedometer Posse (100-199), and the Circle of the Surveyor’s Compass (200-499). USGS sent Catherine four recognition letters regarding her volunteer service (see below for the letters).
Congratulations, Catherine Feng! The points that Catherine has edited added 4 hours to her community service time. GPA encourages other USGS volunteers to get inspired by Amber Yu (previously reported) and Catherine Feng’s successful editing experience, and keep working on the “Conservation” Online Map Editing Project.
