In 2013 Rick created a series of maps for the The Health Promotion Center at Glens Falls Hospital in support of the Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work and Play program. Recreational Opportunities, Complete Street Assets, and Access to Health Food were mapped in the Town of Warrensburg, NY and the Village of Fort Edward, NY. Several new datasets for Healthy Community Assets were created as part of this project. By looking at the assets in relation to population density, an evaluation was made as to what areas may be underserved. The project was renewed in 2014 to study the Town of Chester and Village of Hudson Falls, NY.
In the Spring of 2014 Rick completed an interactive watershed awareness map and informational poster for the Rensselaer Land Trust. These products focus on watershed education for the general public and highlight where drinking water comes from and the environmental and recreational benefits of the county’s water.
