This exercise focused on editing vertices and separating/merging data. This was done by entering the edit tab and picking the right tool from the tool gallery depending on what the goal of the edit was. When editing the vertices placement its important to be accurate on whether its going to fix the dataset rather then make it more difficult to read.

Environmental practices that can be improved or maintained by this is general data correction when imputing data into a geodatabase. This would keep the data easy to read and clear for surveys around populations of different animals in a condensed area. It would also be good for keeping tract of animal territory like wolves that may change yearly.
