Today marks the start of National Surveyor’s week 2009. This is a time for surveyors, schools and the general public to learn about surveying and the rich history behind this profession. Many people are unaware of how much surveying affects their life. Here in Virginia we have a rich history in land surveying including two famous surveyors you’re probably heard of before, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (pictured).Here’s a few ideas for National Surveyor’s Week activities, help the boy scouts with their surveying merit badge, contact a local school and see if any teachers would be interested in a demonstration, host the viewing of a video about surveying… if you know of any other ideas please let me know.
Here at EngineerSupply.com every week is surveyor’s week, we keep learning more and more every week in order to better serve you. If you ever have questions about survey equipment and supplies please call us and we will help answer your questions.
For more information on what you can do this surveyor’s week visit: The National Society of Professional Surveyors.
