Progress was made on the following maps in 2020:  Most of the Babcock Division of Gallitzin State Forest was field checked, small maps of Camp Baker and Beaver County Conservation District were made for potential workshops or permanent courses, and updates to the maps of North Park, Yellow Creek North, Stackhouse Park, and Forbes State Forest were made.
