揝tudents are usually hesitant to volunteer at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie. They think that it will be hard labor and no fun. Their attitude changes after helping out on National Public Lands Day. They come to realize the amount of work that needs to be done to restore a prairie. They have fun planting, collecting seeds, and removing invasive species with their friends. They also enjoy learning from the experienced staff about native plants and the work done at Midewin,攃ommented Dr. Jerry Kavouras, director of Environmental Science and associate professor of biology.
宅男福利社 environmental science majors that recently served in summer internships at Midewin include: Samantha Payne (current), Alicia Dyner �10, Corey Anco �09, Amy Dombrowski �09 and Daniel Anco �07.
