Having accurate and easily accessible information is important for making good decisions. Cornell Cooperative Extension is working with Greene Land Trust, Hudsonia, and the Greene County Conservation Leader's Alliance to provide maps showing a wide range of natural resources for Greene County.

Directions to Download Map:  These maps are now all available as a layered pdf file so you can click to show or not show anything from agricultural soils and wetlands to historic and cultural resources. To get started exploring these maps you need to open the Greene County Natural Resources file, save it to your computer and then open it as a .pdf file with Acrobat. (The map will not work properly if you do not download it first.)

Then, locate the menu bar on the left side of the screen. Click on the “layers” icon (it looks like 2-3 stacked sheets of paper) to view layers or to show or hide their contents. If the “layers” icon is not visible, click on the “View” drop-down menu near the top of your screen. Choose “Navigation Panels” and then “Layers” and the Layers menu will appear to the left of your map.

Click the “expand” (+) icon to the left of the “layers” folder to show the major layer names. Click the “+” next to the layer folders to see an expanded list of contents for each. Now turn each layer on or off by clicking on the “eye” icon (or on the empty square) to the left of each layer or folder.

The 142-acre Siuslaw Model Forest is a key component of the Agroforestry Resource Center. It is open to visitors during the business hours of Cornell Cooperative Extension (M-F; 8:30am-4:30pm). Visitors must sign in and sign out at the reception desk at CCE’s Agroforestry Resource Center (located across the road from the Siuslaw Model Forest).
