WATERFORD — The western Maine chapter of the Small Woodland Owners Association of Maine will offer GPS instruction from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 17, at the home of Gary Hill on Sawin Hill Road.

Merle Ring of the Maine Forest Service will talk about basic global positioning system, how it works, how GPS receivers operate and things the average user/landowner can do with GPS. Part of the meeting will be devoted to using GPS in the field.

Directions to the site: Head west from Norway on Route 118 to North Waterford. Take a right on Sawin Hill Road where the highway crosses the Crooked River. Gary’s house is about a mile on the left, and his sawmill is on the right. Signs will be posted. Coffee and doughnuts will be available at 8:30 a.m. For more information, call Merle Ring at 674-3787.
