An organization in the Pike County, Illinois area is interested in having a graduate student help with some conservation planning (living in, or moving to, Illinois is NOT required). The student will need excellent GIS skills and will be expected to develop a familiarity with the Agricultural Conservation Plan Framework (ACPF) that can be accessed via the USDA website. Experience working with watershed data is a plus. If you are interested in knowing more, and maybe deriving a capstone project from this opportunity, please contact Renee Gracon for more information (gracon1@illinois.edu).
