Join REALiving for a 3-hour seminar regarding strengths-based teamwork, communication, and energy management.
If you haven't already, you will soon realize that being YOU-with your specific strengths- is amazing! Your job is to share the REAL, authentic you with your team and develop them into the employees you want and need. How? It's all about communication.
The key to success is relationships, in developing skills within your team, and even in production levels could arguably be correlated directly to how well we communicate with others about the things that matter. And when we struggle (or fail) to communicate well, these important areas of our lives can go badly.
Those struggles can be better handled by focusing on YOU-your self-care, your energy, and how you manage both. Gina Krueger, of REALiving, will explain how the soft skills development in these areas will give you a better idea of managing yourself, so you can better manage the employees in your department.
What are feminist maps and how can we make them? How can we think about content, form, and cartographic process through a feminist lens? In this workshop, I’ll review feminism and core feminist concepts before introducing feminist cartographies—their history, influences, impacts, and future trajectories. We’ll think about feminist maps in terms of content, form, and process to uncover new questions, new data, new techniques, and new workflows. I’ll argue that feminist theory can push maps and your designs in new and exciting directions. And finally, we’ll make our own feminist maps by beginning with icon design. We’ll collectively explore icon design, specifically Maki icons from Mapbox, through a feminist lens and spend the remaining time designing alternative map icons.
Who Should Attend: This workshop is for anyone interested in mapping and map design.
Items Needed for Workshop: Analog materials such as markers and paper will be available. You can also bring a laptop with graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape if you prefer to work digitally.
Interpretation of a written property description seems simple enough, until you encounter ambiguities and conflicting terms. Almost anyone can write a property description, but it's up to a surveyor to interpret and locate it on the ground. What if physical evidence doesn't coincide with the written description? Most problems occur because a description writer does not understand the legal principles which guide a surveyor's description interpretation and conflicting evidence resolution. Wording which may appear clear to the writer can cause no end of problems later. In this workshop we’ll discuss primary legal principles surveyors use to help determine original intent and resolve conflicting written and physical evidence. We'll also examine some descriptions from recently recorded deeds to determine if their intent is ambiguous or clear.

How these simple words from 1784 impact Wisconsin land and water rights in 2019:
Article 4 - The navigable waters leading into the Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall be common highways and forever free, as well to the inhabitants of the said territory as to the citizens of the United States, and those of any other States that may be admitted into the confederacy, without any tax, impost, or duty therefor.

Tax law enrollment boundaries are one of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forestry Division’s most requested datasets. For the past five years we have been digitizing more than 56,000 enrollment boundaries that were previously only available on paper maps. Tax Law Operations Specialist Jeff Simon will give you a walkthrough of this application, that will allow DNR Forestry staff the ability to view and edit Managed Forest Land and Forest Crop Law boundaries. WisTLE is only available to DNR staff at this time but future enhancements will allow for data sharing with local government agencies, as well as the general public.
Everyone has a stake in damage prevention. It is our goal to provide you with a base of knowledge regarding the roles many of the stakeholders assume in the process. If you ever been curious about the process after you filed a locate request with Diggers Hotline, it is our goal to help answer those questions. You’ll hear perspectives from two damage prevention representatives, one from Diggers Hotline and one from Xcel Energy.
This presentation will examine several different professional organizations and the various certifications that they administer. This includes ASPRS, URISA, and NSPS.

Many organizations experience challenges aligning their IT infrastructure with their staff’s data access needs, and this disconnect can hinder the ability for the business or agency to move forward in a timely manner with informed decision-making. In the forestry sector, staff are often in the field and may not have the ability to locate critical information for days, and in this world of “do more with less,” giving staff access to data the data they need when they need it, is a challenge for IT departments and decision-makers alike. An increasingly common approach to ensure data is available on-demand, is to host information in the cloud. More and more organizations are seeing the benefits of managing their data in a cloud environment, but the transition is not always an easy one. Questions arise regarding security, data management, access permissions, costs, etc. During this presentation, we will discuss a forestry use case to highlight one organization’s transition from desktop GIS software and paper records, to a cloud-hosted forest management system that integrates Esri’s ArcGIS Online capabilities. If you are thinking of making the move to the cloud and have questions you need answered, join us where we will share some of our experiences, advice and recommendations that apply to forestry and beyond.
Scott Galetka will go through some of the projects he has part of during the first year of UAS work. Some projects he will share are: Search and rescue of a man in a remote area, house explosion, non metallic mine Inventory, quantify material loss/comparison with LIDAR, Looking for Deer with CWD, looking for lost cows and Flood inventory. We will take a look at some Thermal Imagery/video. Bayfield County has three UAS's, two in the Land Records Office and one in the Forestry Department. Matrice 200 with x4s/thermal camera, Mavic Pro and Phantom 3. We also have a federal waiver to hold night flights.
