May Informational Webcast Scheduled

The next monthly UNRI Informational Webcast will feature Lindsay Campbell and Erika Svendsen, US Forest Service, New York City.  This presentation, entitled,  "STEW-MAP: Using social-spatial-network analysis to understand urban environmental stewardship in New York City and beyond ", will outline the Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP), which seeks to understand and map the ways citizens serve as environmental stewards by conserving, managing, monitoring, advocating for, and educating the public about their local environments including water, land, air, waste, toxics, and energy issues. Building upon a unique database of more than 5,000 stewardship groups in New York City, STEW-MAP is the most comprehensive dataset of its kind.
