Daughter dropped some news on me last night: *Dad I told my class I want to make maps when I grow up. Can I make maps like you?* Sweetheart, you will make amazing maps if that’s what you want to do. Buckle up world another #Cartographer on the way. #ProudDaddy#YouGoGirl ❤️
Five years in Jordan left Jared Kohler fascinated with its rare national flower, the Black Iris. Incorporating ArcGIS Living Atlas iNaturalist GBIF data in #ArcGISPro, he mapped recorded sightings across the country.

That’s a wrap on the #30DayMapChallenge week 3!
This week, the #ArcGISPro Team showcased the keystone role prairie dogs play in shaping ecosystems, projected… projections, explored the many ways trees are stylized in @Esri basemaps more!
Get a recap here:ow.ly/qevO50XvZWU
From forests to trees, features are uniquely visualized across the different @Esri basemaps. Using #ArcGISPro, Cindy Prostak mapped ways trees are symbolized. 🌳Take a “walk” and marvel at the distinctive foliage.🚶♀️

Been working on a cheeky little map 'thing' with @CartoRedux. How-to and 'what on earth is the point?' next week but here's a taster for what's left of Friday...
I've spent the last decade telling stories with maps, through maps, and of maps. A new chapter begins today.
