About the Workshop

Story Maps engage with our audience by telling compelling, interactive stories and are free to use. Community groups can share information about their projects (be it restoration, watershed planning, community resilience planning) and gather input from their audience to help guide their process. During this hands-on workshop, Sue Bickford will share many of the Story Map features and give you time to draft up your own StoryMap. Precourse work: 1 hour.
