How to Enter

Pick ONE kind of surveyor from the following types:

Land (for measuring property boundaries)
Mine (for mapping mines and quarries)
Hydrography (for monitoring and mapping seas and rivers)
Forestry (for measuring trees, their heights and conditions)
Building (for dealing with construction)
Utilities (for dealing with gas or water).

Then do some online research to find out what the surveyor does and what kind of equipment they use (children can get help with this from their family, friend or teacher.)

Then Elaine wants to receive a DRAWING showing the chosen surveyor using the correct kind of equipment for their job, plus a WRITTEN DESCRIPTION (of up to 50 words, on the back of the drawing) describing what the surveyor is doing and why. Don’t forget, surveyors can be women as well as men!
