... Helens -- part of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest -- as the most well known. Greg McDonald, 1 The GRI provides geologic maps in GIS format and accompanying reports that summarize and draw connections between a park's geologic resources and park values, including resources management issues, interpretive themes, and areas for potential future research.

... Steele, presenting on behalf of her focus group, identified common challenges that state surveys have in undertaking geoheritage initiatives: limited funding, time, and staff; lack of shared terminology about geoheritage site projects; and the need to communicate with increasingly diverse professional networks and the general public. Advantages including existing collaborations, the existence of such sites already (even if not labeled as geoheritage)
From page 13...
... Christopher Higgins, California Geological Survey, suggested that "when proposing or conducting any geoscience projects, routinely consider geoheritage principles, and, if feasible, develop companion products from these projects that can be used for educational purposes, both informal and formal." A suggestion in both state survey focus groups was to find ways to share and collaborate across the state surveys. Mike Conway, Arizona Geological Survey, suggested a state survey geoheritage group that meets quarterly, geoheritage sessions at GSA and other conferences, and a dedicated space on the American Association of State Geologists (AASG)

... Although the state survey has created interactive webmaps, she called attention to "old-school but time-honored" print publications that include simplified maps and cross-sections, descriptive illustrations, photographs, and text.a They include guides about the geology of the northern and southern parts of the state, and of several rivers. Increasingly, she added, many of the state's geologic sites are involving nearby communities in geoscience education, such as a program in the Jemez Mountains for Pueblo middle schoolers (see Figure 2 in next chapter)

... The bureau has also published a companion guide to Southern New Mexico, as well as several river guides. b See https://kgs.uky.edu/kgsweb/main.asp.
