Hi Severin, I think that we have mapped enough of the area so far where it could be of value. If you could kindly introduce me to any stakeholders who could put it to use or add input as to additional needs I am happy to coordinate with them
Tharparker has been receiving some slow steady mapping in between the other efforts, if anyone has time to contribute and help us close it out all efforts would be greatly appreciated.
