Community Engagement
Southern New England Landcare undertook a giant tree frog revegetation project planted at “The Hill” Kentucky (NSW). Croft Surveying and Mapping was able to take the concept landscaping design and position it on the site. When complete, the project was approximately 400m long. Local schools were involved in the planting.
Croft Surveying and Mapping has regularly represented the surveying industry at local careers festivals, sharing with students and teachers about the surveying profession – a life without limits.
A group of 26 University of the Third Age (UO3A) walkers ascended Mount Harnham (located at Salisbury Plains south of Uralla, NSW) and were able to use surveying equipment from the trigonometric station to view the landscape from Ebor to Narrabri. Michael Croft provided an explanation of the trigonometric station network across the state (walkers braving the bracing July wind gusts at 1255m elevation).
