Luray High School

The Luray HS GIS Class spent the day collecting data along the Luray - Hawksbill Greenway. Data included donations and a variety of facilities along the path. Students built an online feature service to collect data via the ESRI Field Maps App and Garmin GPS units to collect data. The project was a collaborative effort between students, the Town of Luray, and Page Co GIS. Thanks to the Town of Luray for providing a real life project opportunity for students!
