Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests AGM – Monday 9 September 2019

Posted on 4 September, 2019 by Ivan

Jase Haysom, well-known local map maker, will speak at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Friends of the Box-Ironbark Forests (FOBIF).

FOBIF AGM
When: 7.30 pm on Monday 9 September 2019
Where: Ray Bradfield Room, Forest St, next to Victory Park, Castlemaine VIC (access from IGA car park).

Information on how to nominate for the FOBIF Committee can be found here. All welcome and supper will be served.

Jase describes himself as ‘an incidental cartographer’:

‘I did not consciously decide that I would become a cartographer. It seems that, as a result of obliquely related actions, incremental step by incremental step I nudged myself in that direction. In the talk I’ll briefly look at how these incidental incremental steps occurred. I’ll then briefly discuss the mechanism I use to build a map and the limitations of the process. If time permits the talk will finish with some personal observations.’

You can find out more about Jase’s map making including examples of maps at Cartography Community Mapping. He offers free mapping services to non-profit organisations such as Landcare groups. The maps have proved useful for resource management and as support material for reports, grant applications, transport and training purposes.
