SFEGWG Spring 2023 Meeting 

Field Notes: How geospatial data has evolved over space and time to inform Sears Point Restoration 

This was the first in person meeting of this working group since 2019! SFEGWG members who participated in this meeting reconnected with geospatial colleagues and reconnected with the natural landscape of the SF Bay as knowledgeable presenters highlighted the evolution of geospatial data at Sears Point through space and time. This meeting involved a walking tour of the restoration site with short talks about restoration design, horizontal levees, and adaptive management, with demonstrations along the way.
