This flyer shows a choropleth map of the Chicago area - Cook and the collar counties - where central and southern areas of Chicago are shaded blue and deep green, and areas become lighter green the further you travel away from the city center into the surrounding suburbs. The map overlays a greyscale basemap for context. The flyer contains all the details about the event listed on this page, with a header that says

Join UDVL and the Chicago Region Trees Initiative for a workshop on interactive map dashboards! We will explore data related to our region’s tree canopy and health statistics, and learn the fundamentals of creating an interactive dashboard using ArcGIS Online.

Open to anyone at UIC interested in learning about online GIS resources. No prior GIS knowledge needed! The space will have computers with all of the mapping resources that you will need.

This workshop is an opportunity to:

· Learn about applied GIS in environmental planning

· Explore spatial datasets in our region

· Connect with peers interested in spatial data, cartography, and GIS

We'll have snacks; please RSVP here!
