This month's workshop is part 3 of a 3-part-workshop focusing on how to use a compass. Last month Barb Brenner presented how to use true north on a topo map to take and use a bearing. At our January workshop Barb presented how to use magnetic north to take and use a bearing. This month learn how to use a bearing taken with either magnetic north or true north and use it with the other "north". This workshop focuses on declination, the angle between magnetic north and true north, and how to adjust for it. Bring your compass to the workshop.
