Share your stories of rural PEI through The Back 50 Project
Researchers at the University of Prince Edward Island are seeking volunteers to participate in an interactive mapping project about rural land use change on PEI over the past 50 years. The Back 50 project will track how members of the agricultural and other rural communities value the land and how they have seen it change over the past half century.
Participants will be presented with maps from 1968 and the present, and asked to compare land use over time. They will be asked to describe why they believe land use changed and whether they observed any effects of these changes.
