Maps are often the start of many an adventure. And on this Friday’s Juneau afternoon, Jacquie Foss and Kelsey Aho talk about how map-making is an adventure of its own, a form of storytelling.
The two women are data geographers with a passion for using cartography to help people explore forests in Southeast Alaska and develop an appreciation for all they have to offer.
Also in this program:
- What are your favorite sources for information about the City and Borough of Juneau? The CBJ wants to know.
- Dorolyn Alper talks about fashioning fabric landscapes and her work as an art therapist.
