Students from her first job as a high school biology teacher in New York compiled a scrapbook of pictures from their class and accompanied it with notes.&nbsp; The pictures were fun, bringing back memories about old times, old jokes, and old projects.&nbsp; But it was one of the notes that particularly stood out.&nbsp; A former student wrote, &ldquo;Ms. Fagg, you taught me how to love the Earth.&nbsp; You made me realize it&rsquo;s worth my time to preserve it.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Like any good program, the Au Sable Environmental Education Program has five goals and prioritizes 12 major environmental concepts for its students.&nbsp; But if you asked Trish what she would count as success, it would be that each of the 120,000 K-12<sup>th</sup> grade students she&rsquo;s encountered over the years would have those words on their lips.&nbsp; Love.&nbsp; Preserve.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>The &ldquo;Heart Connection&rdquo;</strong></p>\n<p>\n	There&rsquo;s a term Trish uses to describe the attachment the environmental education program strives to achieve between student and natural world: a &ldquo;heart connection.&rdquo; It starts with what she describes as the most gratifying part of her job (besides serving as rocky the raccoon during the puppet show), &ldquo;I love seeing when the little light bulb goes on, when there&rsquo;s that &lsquo;oh wow&rsquo; moment that leads to a sense of wonder.&rdquo;&nbsp; Encounter leads to wonder leads to love. &nbsp;Dipping a net into the pond to pull out tadpoles, staring intensely through a microscope at a butterfly&rsquo;s wings, seeing grouse snuggle down into the snow for insulation, these experiences at Au Sable are about forging that connection.&nbsp; Trish created the program to do that.</p>\n<p>\n	Trish&rsquo;s own &ldquo;heart connection&rdquo; developed during her family&rsquo;s weekend ritual of traveling from her city home to her grandparents&rsquo; farms in rural Ohio.</p>\n<p>\n	Trish says, &ldquo;My grandparents conveyed a love for the land and a stewardship ethic that was profound and left a lasting impression.&nbsp; They gave me the opportunity to see how life advances through the seasons.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	In many ways, under Trish, student field trips to Au Sable became weekend trips to the farm.&nbsp; Much like her experience at Au Sable, it was the physical place suffused with community that led Trish towards a deep love for the outdoors and the means to care for it.</p>\n<p>\n	Trish explains, &ldquo;At Au Sable, I wanted both to give children the opportunity to experience what I had when I was their age [on the farm] as well as what I <em>wish</em> I had when I was their age.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Nothing Short of &ldquo;Protecting Northern Michigan&rdquo;</strong></p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp; But while Trish made her &ldquo;heart connection&rdquo; with her grandparents&rsquo; farms, she also felt the cruel sting that this land she loved could be taken away. &nbsp;A coal company stripped her paternal grandparents&rsquo; farm for coal.&nbsp; Her grandparents owned all of their land except for the mineral rights.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Trish says, &ldquo;This experience had a profound impact on my life and what I chose to do with it.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	The tragic loss of this place she loved and the place where she learned <em>to</em> love guided her life course. &nbsp;It also deepened the connection she wanted her students at Au Sable to make with the natural world: protect it because you love it.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;This opportunity came to bear in a very tangible way in the early 1990s.&nbsp; Au Sable received a Kellogg Foundation Grant to teach groundwater education.&nbsp; With the oil and gas industry playing a growing role in Northern Michigan, it provided the opportunity to teach children about ground water and how it can become contaminated.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Trish says, &ldquo;I was most proud of this program.&nbsp; The Kellogg Foundation told us that of the money they distributed for ground water education, this program got the most out of the money they gave.&nbsp; And in addition, the program didn&rsquo;t just educate the children, it educated our teachers and chaperones as well.&nbsp; They would keep coming to me and saying, &lsquo;We never knew this!&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	Once Trish was meeting with a board member who asked, &ldquo;What do you see as the overarching goal of your program?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She answered, &ldquo;To protect the environment of Northern Michigan.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Food Webs</strong></p>\n<p>\n	When Trish started out, she found that forging these connections for child can be immensely difficult and deeply troubling.&nbsp; A story she often tells is about going to a 3<sup>rd</sup> grade class one day to prep them for their visit to Au Sable.&nbsp; The Au Sable lesson was on food webs, and seeing as she had just come from the grocery store, she decided to bring her groceries to class to use as a demonstration.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She started by holding up a loaf of bread, asking, &ldquo;Can you tell me where this bread came from?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hands shot up in the air, and a child responded, &ldquo;From the grocery store.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Trish said, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s right.&nbsp; But how about before the grocery store.&nbsp; Where did this bread come from?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There was a long pause, students&rsquo; wheels turning, until one boy raised his hand and said, &ldquo;Well I went to the store once with my mom and saw a truck, and in the back, it had loaves of bread.&nbsp; So it must have come on the bread truck.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Trish responded, &ldquo;Well, how about before it came on the bread truck?&nbsp; Where did it come from?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The class went silent for a long time, so Trish used a different tact.&nbsp; She said, &ldquo;Bread is made up of flour.&nbsp; What makes up the flour we use in our bread?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One child responded, &ldquo;Is it ground up rocks?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Astonished, Trish changed course again.&nbsp; She asked, &ldquo;Where does the water in our houses come from?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No one knew.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On the ride home, the image of her grandparent&rsquo;s farm was vivid in her mind.&nbsp; She knew where bread and water came from when she was their age because she saw it.&nbsp; It was plain before her eyes each weekend.&nbsp; Flour ground from wheat, water from the well.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	When she returned to Au Sable, she formulated a program to take students back to the early 1900s when it was impossible to not know where the basics of human subsistence come from.&nbsp; It was called Michigan History, and quickly became one of the most popular programs at Au Sable.&nbsp; Students interacted with historical characters from the 1900s.&nbsp; With no light bulbs, automobiles, or grocery stores to keep students comfortable, the dependence on the natural world to meet these needs becomes strikingly obvious. &nbsp;It produces &ldquo;oh wow&rdquo; moments.&nbsp; They stepped onto the family farm.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Serve the School</strong></p>\n<p>\n	While teaching children is the goal of education, new administrative policies and guidelines created an ever-changing education environment during Trish&rsquo;s 34 years. &nbsp;But it also gave rise to the environmental education program in the first place.&nbsp; In March of 1977, Trish ran the first environmental education program at Au Sable with the Mancelona school system.&nbsp; The program was a success, and she loved the work, but questions remained about future support for the program.&nbsp; Two events in particular led the program to swell and become the environmental education program it is today.&nbsp; First, both Kalkaska and Mancelona principals felt that environmental education should be a part of each child&rsquo;s learning experience.&nbsp;&nbsp; Second, in 1976-1977, the Michigan Department of Education felt the same way and required that every school needed to teach environmental concepts by the 1978 school year.&nbsp; Trish was ready to meet the challenge.&nbsp; Seizing on this opportunity, she invited schools to participate in Au Sable&rsquo;s programs to fulfill their requirements.&nbsp; By 1978, the curriculum at Au Sable expanded to fill their environmental concepts requirement, and Au Sable&rsquo;s environmental education program became a fixture.</p>\n<p>\n	Over the next thirty years, these requirements changed repeatedly.&nbsp; With each progression, Trish folded the environmental ed program into the new Michigan standardized test (MEAPs) and grade level content expectations (GLCEs).&nbsp; The bottom line was making sure that she did everything possible to support teachers in helping them do what they were tasked to do.</p>\n<p>\n	She also went above and beyond to make sure that the program not only met science requirements but also connected with what teachers were teaching in their other subjects as well: math, language arts, social studies.&nbsp; Trish also convened roundtable meetings with teachers to discuss how the program could best meet their needs.&nbsp; It kept the program relevant and cutting edge.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	It was this level of commitment to high quality standards and content that built the program from a single school, Mancelona Public School, to 36 school districts and 11 counties throughout the Grand Traverse Bay area.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>The Future</strong></p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Starting in the fall,PaulWiemerslage will inherit the environmental education program, and Trish couldn&rsquo;t be more thrilled.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	&ldquo;We just started our 3<sup>rd</sup> generation of students coming to Au Sable.&nbsp; I think that signals a time to step down!&rdquo; she laughs.&nbsp; &ldquo;I see grandmothers in the grocery store who came to Au Sable.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s exciting to think about how teaching generation after generation can make an impact.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m so happy Paul is picking up the torch, finishing the third generation, then the fourth....&nbsp; That&rsquo;s how we make change.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp; As for Trish, during the environmental internship, she challenges student to step outside of their comfort zone, to identify who they&rsquo;re created to be (&ldquo;their giftedness&rdquo;), and to be persistent.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When asked about thinking to the future, she sounds a lot like many of the interns, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not sure where my path will take me.&rdquo;&nbsp; And then, &ldquo;It seems like wherever I go, my giftedness is in environmental education.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A majority of his time is spent on the road visiting our participating colleges to talk with students about the opportunity to take courses at Au Sable.</p>\n<p>\n	In addition to visiting our participating colleges, Dieter&rsquo;s other hats include establishing an Au Sable alumni and supporters network, coordinating Au Sable eNotes, developing our new website, keeping faculty representatives abreast of on-going Au Sable news, and applying for grants.</p>\n<p>\n	Before coming to Au Sable, Dieter completed an MS/MPP program from the University of Michigan. During that time, he helped to teach courses through the University and worked for both the Huron River Watershed Council and City of Ann Arbor.</p>\n<p>\n	It&rsquo;s a common occurrence, and a wonderful privilege, at Au Sable to have many of our students return over the years. It&rsquo;s what makes Au Sable feel like a home: it&rsquo;s a place people come back to. For Dieter, Au Sable has served as a home away from home for almost nineteen years. In fact, one of the things he considered when accepting his new job was whether working for Au Sable would diminish the strong pull on him towards campus. &nbsp;We&rsquo;re happy to report that it hasn&rsquo;t.</p>\n<p>\n	We caught up with Dieter for an interview about his new position and what&nbsp;keeps bringing him back to Au Sable:</p>\n<p>\n	<em>How did you first hear about ASI?</em><br />\n	I first heard about Au Sable when I was in elementary school. My dad served on the board in the early 1990s, and then later he taught the January-term class in &#39;Environmental Ethics&#39; for over 15 years. I was a young recruit.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>What courses did you take at ASI? Any favorites?</em><br />\n	I took Winter Stream Ecology, Tropical Agriculture and Missions, and Woody Plants. By de facto, I probably took my dad&rsquo;s &#39;Environmental Ethics&#39; course by the age of 10 as well. Each Au Sable class was wonderful and unique in its own way. I&rsquo;m deeply indebted to each of them for the future opportunities they opened up for me. Winter Ex-stream ecology, as Dave [Mahan] likes to call it,&nbsp;landed me my first job with the Huron River Watershed Council, which was a terrific experience. And the Tropical Agriculture and Missions and Woody Plants classes were instrumental in helping me with my graduate work on community forestry and climate change adaptation in rural Nepal.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>Do you have any favorite memories from Au Sable or particularly influential faculty or staff?</em><br />\n	Au Sable faculty and staff are some of the most fun and enjoyable people to spend time with -- it&#39;s blessing heaped on blessing spending time with them. They&#39;re the best teachers, mentors, story-tellers, adventure guides, joke-tellers, worship-leaders....</p>\n<p>\n	And as teachers, they&#39;re so great to learn from because they&#39;re so curious. I&#39;ll never forget driving with Dave Warners [Woody Plants professor] during our &#39;Woody Plants&#39; course. I remember thinking, &quot;Gosh, he has a weird way of driving.&quot; His elbows would hang straight down from the steering wheel, and he would lean so far forward that his chin would sit over top of the steering wheel. It wasn&#39;t until I sat in the front seat with him that I realized why he&#39;d adopted this unorthodox driving style: he was craning his neck to get the maximum peripheral vision out of the front windshield to look at the trees along the roadside! It worked well too. As I was sitting in the front seat next to him, all of a sudden, he slammed on the brakes, pulled the car off the road, jumped out, ran across the road, up a little hill, and clipped a small branch from a tree species we hadn&#39;t seen yet. It was a testimony to one person&#39;s passion for teaching and the plants our God created.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>Has your ASI experience influenced you in any way?</em><br />\n	This is an incredibly challenging question! It&#39;d be easier to ask how Au Sable hasn&#39;t influenced me. Growing up and working at Au Sable gave me the opportunity to interact with wonderful students and faculty and learn about Christian environmental stewardship from a young age. Despite this, at the beginning of the summer before my freshman year of college, I had to tell Calvin College -- where I went to undergrad -- what I was interested in, so that they could give me an advisor. I chose Sociology because I was good in humanities and had not had the best teachers in the sciences throughout high school. &nbsp;That summer, I worked in the kitchen during Summer Session II. By the end of that summer at Au Sable, I was a Biology major. And it was all because of the students -- I saw their passion and interest and it seeped into me. Au Sable created fertile soil in me for when I began to studying Biology because I constantly tied my coursework in biology and ecology to how it could be applied to care for God&#39;s world. I worked for the Service-Learning Center at Calvin College as the Calvin Environmental Assessment Coordinator and was a member of the Environmental Stewardship Coalition. The worldview I learned at Au Sable was what motivated me.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>If you could offer one piece of advice to current students of ASI, what would it be?</em><br />\n	Just as the threat to God&#39;s creation is multifaceted, so the ways to serve God&#39;s creation are diverse: take some time to learn about all the different types of careers and service opportunities out there that can help to protect God&rsquo;s world.&nbsp; There are quite a bit more than you think.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>What are you most excited about with your new position at ASI?</em><br />\n	I&#39;m excited about the opportunity to talk to students about what a terrific living-learning community Au Sable is. I&#39;ve taken courses at Au Sable in the summer time, and it combines what&#39;s best about coursework -- interesting classes where you&#39;re outside interacting with the subject you&#39;re studying -- and summer vacation -- being with friends, having adventures, lots of recreational opportunities. It&#39;s a challenge to convey this because you really need to experience it to understand it. But I try to channel my own experience and excitement into talking about it with students. It&#39;s always terrific to meet a former Au Sable student who lights up when they talk about their experience. It definitely reinforces that Au Sable makes a life-changing impact on students in a variety of different ways.</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_27\";s:44:\"{filedir_8}New-Employee-Comes-Home-thumb.jpg\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"217\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"217\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:23:\"new_employee_comes_home\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"28\";}'),(3083,242,1,5,6,0,0,'141.211.103.100','Homepage

Sable&#39;s Residential Program allows us to explore the connections between faith and stewardship with students from Christian schools.</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_26\";s:2760:\"<p>\n	Residential programming is synonymous with overnight programs where students attend for multiple days. At Au Sable, the bulk of our residential programs occurs during the winter session and consists entirely of Christian private schools with long relationships with Au Sable. &nbsp;Not only does this mean the schools that attend are able to participate in activities like skiing and broomball that our typical day programs do not, it also means that the window to incorporate conversation about Christian environmental stewardship in our programming swings wide open.</p>\n<p>\n	The primary goal of environmental education is to reconnect students with the natural world. Similarly, as Christians we place emphasis on reconnecting with Christ every day. During our Residential programs, we are able to directly address both of these relationships. We help our students realize that in learning about the natural world, we are learning about our relationship to the Creator, and having a good relationship with God means having a good relationship with God&#39;s creation.</p>\n<p>\n	Things happen so quickly during residential programs that students are often not given a chance to breathe until they are on the bus ride home. &nbsp;Thus, scheduling time for reflection is vital. &nbsp;One activity that helps students reflect on what they are learning and how it applies to their Christian faith is a silent praise hike. &nbsp;Through this activity, students are given the opportunity to spend time hiking or snowshoeing alone in the woods. &nbsp;This quiet time is accompanied by questions they find laying on the trail. Questions that ask them to consider biblical verses like Genesis 1:26: &quot;Let us make humankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over the creatures that move along the ground.&quot;</p>\n<p>\n	As the students gather at the end of the hike, we discuss the verse and what it was like to be alone in the woods. We ask them: What stands out in this verse? &nbsp;What is God&rsquo;s decree? What does it mean to rule, and what are the traits of a good ruler? With very little prodding, the students compile a lengthy list of traits that we as humans, created in God&rsquo;s image, should consider as we follow his command.</p>\n<p>\n	Through residential programming, the environmental education program can reflect with Christian school students on our connection between God, the natural world, and stewardship. We are bridging environmental stewardship and our Christian faith. We are reconnecting students to the natural world as we reconnect with Christ. We are training Christians to care for God&rsquo;s world.</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_27\";s:36:\"{filedir_1}IMG_6415-200pxl_thumb.jpg\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"358\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"358\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:63:\"reconnecting_faith_and_stewardship_through_residential_programs\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"28\";}'),(6235,337,1,9,6,0,0,'12.16.237.203','Steven Bouma-Prediger Leads Talks on \"Earthkeeping as Homemaking\" at Annual Grad Fellows Conference','steven_bouma_prediger_leads_talks_on_earthkeeping_as_homemaking','open','y',0,0,0,0,'y','n',1328896624,'n','2012','02','10',0,0,20120224111206,0,0,'a:11:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"9\";s:11:\"field_ft_25\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_ft_26\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_ft_27\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:11:\"field_id_25\";s:198:\"<p>\n	A weekend of seminars, discussion, recreation, and relaxation at the Au Sable Great Lakes Campus made the annual conference a time to connect and reflect for the Au Sable Graduate Fellows.</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_26\";s:5661:\"<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Steven-Bouma-Prediger-presenting-250pxl.jpg\" style=\"float: left; width: 250px; height: 219px; \" />Rich snow blankets the pine forest outside, a cozy fire crackles in the stove, and whisps of steam unfurl from coffee mugs. The Au Sable Graduate Fellows sit inside discussing a topic fitting for the setting: home. &nbsp;During this year&#39;s annual Au Sable Graduate Fellows Conference on the Great Lakes Campus, Dr. Steven Bouma-Prediger,&nbsp;Hope College religion professor and author of&nbsp;<em>For the Beauty of the Earth</em>,&nbsp;led the fellows through presentation and discussion on the theme of &quot;Earthkeeping as Homemaking.&quot; &nbsp;Bouma-Prediger&nbsp;has thought quite a bit about home lately. &nbsp;His latest book,&nbsp;<em>Beyond Homelessness,</em>&nbsp;explores the ways humans have become ecologically homeless. &nbsp;In two sessions on Saturday and one on Sunday, he guided the Grad Fellows through the key biblical and theological questions on home and God&#39;s intentions for creation (click on the link to see handouts from each presentation):</p>\n<div>\n	<ul>\n		<li>\n			Session 1: <a href=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Where_and_who_are_we.pdf\">Where and who are we?:&nbsp;

A (Re)New(ed) Heaven on Earth</a></li>\n	</ul>\n	<p>\n		Bouma-Prediger used the first session to discuss the home God has created for us and the rest of creation. &nbsp;It is a home fashioned and firmly held by a sovereign God. &nbsp;It is dynamic, with God lovingly nudging us to be creative agents ourselves. &nbsp;And it is a home we share with other creatures. &nbsp;Genesis is not about anthropology as much as it is about ecology. &nbsp;Fittingly, we derive the word ecology from the greek word for home, <em>oikos</em>. &nbsp;As ecologists, we study home.</p>\n	<p>\n		The second and third sessions focused on Christ as Creator and Redeemer of a groaning creation. &nbsp;Bouma-Prediger guided conversation through the themes of Christ holding this world together, coming to Earth to begin making all things new, and returning to usher in a new heaven and earth. &nbsp;However, as Eugene Boring comments on Revelation 21:5, it is important to note that &quot;God does not make &#39;all new things,&#39; but &#39;all things new&#39;&quot; in the new kingdom. &nbsp;God cleanses and refurbishes our earthly home into a glowing city with flowing water and trees, a place of healing and peace.</p>\n</div>\n<div>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Retreat-Group-2012-300pxl.jpg\" style=\"float: right;

We do allow vendors to broker 10% of their product as long as it&#39;s from Michigan and not mass-produced.

And, what are your thoughts on the importance of markets restricting vendors to sell local products? Is it important to make this restriction to help further the local food system, or not?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Dave Timmer</strong>: Brook, we also have the &quot;local&quot; guideline - locally grown and locally produced products. &nbsp;I think it&rsquo;s a good rule. &nbsp;This should be the ultimate goal of any farmers market, right? &nbsp;It should work to strengthen and support the local economy. &nbsp;What I found last year is that the farmer&rsquo;s market became a testing ground for people who were trying out a new business - several people who might have had an idea for selling soap, paintings, jewelry, and other crafts. &nbsp;They saw the market as a low-risk attempt to see if their goods will sell. &nbsp;On the produce side of things, farmers markets are crucial venues for small farms to market their produce. &nbsp;They need as many venues as possible if they are going to make it. &nbsp;A market is crucial for any community that values a local economy (particularly a local food economy). &nbsp;If it doesn&#39;t, then we might as well just put a Wal-Mart downtown. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	I think the question, though, is what defines local. &nbsp;Here in Lynden, we are in Western Washington - west of the Cascade Mountains and east of the Salish Sea. &nbsp;It is a unique place -- climate, soils, and growing season. &nbsp;We have a long but cool growing season. &nbsp; We are also quite high latitudinally (our summer days are really long). &nbsp;There are some things that grow incredibly well here (cool weather crops - brassicas, peas and greens - also berries) and others aren&#39;t a sure thing (still haven&#39;t produced an eggplant yet - but hey I keep trying). &nbsp;For our market we&#39;ve defined &quot;local&quot; as our county and the one just south of us - essentially that means the far northwest corner of Washington State. &nbsp;But we&#39;ve also discussed exceptions. &nbsp;Just on the other side of the mountains grows some of the best apples, peaches, and cherries on the planet. &nbsp;It also grows some great hops and lots of wheat. &nbsp;I&#39;d like to buy some of those things&hellip;so I don&#39;t have a big problem with a local farmer brokering some of those crops from the other side of the mountains. &nbsp;The vendors have to officially request an exception to sell things outside of the county. &nbsp;But, there definitely won&#39;t be any apples coming from Chile and definitely no cardboard strawberries coming from California. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Brook</strong>: About 99% of me is in agreement with you in regard to allowing only local vendors at farmers&#39; markets, but 1% of me questions this. Occasionally I will receive a phone call from a prospective vendor that I have to turn away because they are not selling something locally, but I wish that I could have allowed them. For example, a woman this year wanted to sell a contraption that would allow home gardeners to grow hydroponic produce in a very small space. However, the products were not produced or assembled locally, so it would not meet our criteria. I do, however, think that these types of devices might help people that don&#39;t have garden space build their home economy and extend to the local economy. Also, what about items that cannot be grown locally such as rice, or citrus fruits? Should a person partaking in a local economy avoid these items completely, or would it make sense to allow a vendor to sell these items direct from a single farm in Florida? I tend to think that customers can go to the grocery store to get these items and retain the farmers market for local produce, but also think that more products at the market would make it a more popular spot to be and enhance our goals of community strengthening.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Dave</strong>: I definitely understand the 1% feeling. &nbsp;Of course, global trade is necessary and beneficial. &nbsp;I willingly participate in it everyday. &nbsp;The problem is one of balance, right? &nbsp;Our current economic system is so incredibly dependent on goods being cheaply moved around the globe. &nbsp;The statistics are hard to pin down (I&#39;m sure someone&#39;s figured out the correct numbers), but I&#39;d say well over 90% of everything we buy in the US is made or grown outside of the State we live in. &nbsp;We&#39;re out of balance. &nbsp;Besides the current economic system being ecologically unsustainable and economically inequitable, what happens when we simply just can&#39;t do that anymore? &nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Brook</strong>: It&#39;s scary to think about times ahead when global shipping might be too expensive and throw us back towards more local economies out of necessity. Let&#39;s hope that it doesn&#39;t happen too fast so that societies can adjust properly, but fast enough that we curb the ecological damage from fossil energy extraction and use.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Dave</strong>: What happens when it is too expensive to ship apples from Chile? &nbsp;When 90% of our economy is dependent on things being shipped around the globe&hellip;it&#39;s not going to be pretty. &nbsp;Anyway, so what does that have to do with our farmers market? &nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	I&rsquo;ll try to answer this. &nbsp;The imbalance is highlighted in our agriculture - something as basic and necessary as the food that we eat. &nbsp;In my county, which is very agriculturally productive, the food that is grown here isn&#39;t eaten here. &nbsp;The raspberries go to Japan and the milk goes around the world (in a powdered form). &nbsp;As we recruit vendors for the market, I&#39;m not looking to the farmers that go to my church to be vendors because their farm isn&#39;t set up to sell locally (at the market that started at their church). &nbsp;Lynden, the agricultural center of our county, as of two years ago didn&#39;t have a farmers market. &nbsp;Frankly, I still think we&#39;re facing an uphill battle with our market. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Still, I think that hill is a lot less steep than it was even two years ago. &nbsp;There are a growing number of locally-focused farms popping up every year. &nbsp;There are now brave souls raising and growing most everything we can imagine locally. &nbsp;While we are still very out balance, I think the scales are starting to shift. &nbsp;Our market, along with the others around the county, are crucial outlets for those brave souls to sell their wares. &nbsp;Our market is one of many needed venues that is going to help lessen that pain of transition. &nbsp;Unfortunately, it still is going to be painful, but with this strengthening local food movement, we&#39;re setting the foundation for figuring how we&#39;re going to feed ourselves when apples can&#39;t come from South America and strawberries (and everything else) can&#39;t come from California.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Brook</strong>: As you suggested, there are a lot of new small farms popping up, seemingly in concert with the many new markets that are starting, giving them a place to do business. So, it sure seems like markets are a springboard for supporting local family farms, but can we continue to extend this to really make a &quot;dent&quot; on the overall landscape? I would say that the farms selling grass fed and free range meat at the local level are a great start, but I see it as a greater challenge to move back towards family grain/livestock farms, with local marketing coops, feed mills, etc. &nbsp;I have to drive about 30 miles to find a feed mill, and I pass about three vacant old feed mills along the way. Also, the price of land, and the fact that it is increasingly being consolidated, are making it harder and harder for a family to get back into farming. So, it seems that there needs to be another avenue parallel to farmers markets to help support family farms that are doing their part to enrich the local economy.</p>\n<p>\n	In the end, we can have faith that God will look after us, but all the more reason to obey our call to be good stewards and take proper care of the blessings given to us.&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n	In case you missed it, read <a href=\"/news_and_resources/blog/conversations_local_agriculture_and_the_church\">Part 1</a>&nbsp;of our Local Food Conversation, or continue on to <a href=\"/news_and_resources/blog/conversations_farmers_markets_as_community_development/\">Part 3</a> on farmers markets as community development.</p>\n<p>\n	<em><strong>Dave Timmer</strong>&nbsp;took Winter Stream Ecology during a very snowy January (1999) and was part of the first group of&nbsp;<a href=\"http://ausable.org/alumni_and_grad_fellows/#GradFellows\">Au Sable Grad Fellows</a>&nbsp;at the University of Michigan.

newest member. Boorse has been involved with Au Sable since 1985, when she attended as a student, taking classes in ornithology, land use practicum, and insect biology (her humorous additions to the insect collection remain a part of Au Sable lore). In Spring of 1987, she served as an Au Sable environmental education intern, a job that remained her favorite job of all time until her current one. &nbsp;During her PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dorothy was an Au Sable graduate fellow. She has been the Au Sable representative from Gordon College since she became a faculty member there in 1999, regularly contributing at the Au Sable Academic Council.</p>\n<p>\n	Boorse is a professor of Biology at Gordon College. Her expertise is in aquatic ecology. She received a BS in Biology from Gordon College, MS in Entomology from Cornell University, and PhD in Oceanography and Limnology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she was a student of Cal DeWitt. Her research with students focuses on vernal pools, invasive species, and ecological restoration. Much of her scholarly activity, however, is focused on explaining environmental science to non-experts and to students, exploring the relationship between science and faith, especially care of the natural world. She was lead author on&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.nae.net/images/content/Loving_the_Least_of_These.pdf\">Loving the Least of These</a>, a report on poverty and climate change put out by the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), and is a co-author on the textbook&nbsp;<em>Environmental Science, (ed 11 and 12)</em>&nbsp;by Wright and Boorse. Both of these reflect her drive to communicate about the natural world for both secular audiences and faith communities.</p>\n<p>\n	Boorse loves to teach, in part because each student comes representing Christ; teaching is a way to serve God. Teaching about the natural world is a double joy, because it not only serves others, but involves the study of the most wonderful world around us: the artwork of God. She also cares about increasing the success of women and minorities in the sciences.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Boorse was raised in Pennsylvania and strongly influenced by the Mennonite tradition to care for both the creation and for those in poverty.

Other common names include shad bush (pertaining to the migration of shad with its bloom) and service berry (the ground was thought to be sufficiently thawed after the winter for funeral services to resume in correspondence with the trees bloom). &nbsp;The fruits of the downy service berry are rather dry and flavorless especially when compared to its relative the smooth service berry whose fruit is deliciously sweet. &nbsp;However, animals don&#39;t seem to discriminate between the two as both berries are quickly consumed by a host of critters ranging from squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, black bear, and skunks in addition to more than 40 bird species <sup>1</sup>. &nbsp; Leaves are serrate, oval, thin, 2-4 inches long with fewer than 12 prominant viens per side.. &nbsp;Whitish hairs are present when young. &nbsp;Bark is smooth, thin, and grey on trunk. &nbsp;Braches are purplish when young. &nbsp;Flowers are white with 5 petals 3/8&quot; to 1/2&quot; long forming showy branched clusters.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Citation:&nbsp;<span style=\"font-size: 12px; \"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: \'Times New Roman\', Times; line-height: 32px; text-indent: -48px; \">Kershaw, Linda J.&nbsp;</span><i style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: \'Times New Roman\', Times; font-size: 16px; line-height: 32px; text-indent: -48px; \">Trees of Michigan, including Tall Shrubs</i><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: \'Times New Roman\', Times; line-height: 32px; text-indent: -48px; \">.

Boorse has been involved with Au Sable since 1985, when she attended as a student, taking classes in ornithology, land use practicum, and insect biology (her humorous additions to the insect collection remain a part of Au Sable lore). In Spring of 1987, she served as an Au Sable environmental education intern, a job that remained her favorite job of all time until her current one. &nbsp;During her PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dorothy was an Au Sable graduate fellow. She has been the Au Sable representative from Gordon College since she became a faculty member there in 1999, regularly contributing at the Au Sable Academic Council.</p>\n<p>\n	Boorse is a professor of Biology at Gordon College. Her expertise is in aquatic ecology. She received a BS in Biology from Gordon College, MS in Entomology from Cornell University, and PhD in Oceanography and Limnology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she was a student of Cal DeWitt. Her research with students focuses on vernal pools, invasive species, and ecological restoration. Much of her scholarly activity, however, is focused on explaining environmental science to non-experts and to students, exploring the relationship between science and faith, especially care of the natural world. She was lead author on&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.nae.net/images/content/Loving_the_Least_of_These.pdf\">Loving the Least of These</a>, a report on poverty and climate change put out by the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), and is a co-author on the textbook&nbsp;<em>Environmental Science, (ed 11 and 12)</em>&nbsp;by Wright and Boorse. Both of these reflect her drive to communicate about the natural world for both secular audiences and faith communities.</p>\n<p>\n	Boorse loves to teach, in part because each student comes representing Christ; teaching is a way to serve God. Teaching about the natural world is a double joy, because it not only serves others, but involves the study of the most wonderful world around us: the artwork of God. She also cares about increasing the success of women and minorities in the sciences.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Boorse was raised in Pennsylvania and strongly influenced by the Mennonite tradition to care for both the creation and for those in poverty. She currently lives in Beverly, Massachusetts with her family where she is active in her local church and in a prayer group.

Currently I am able to do a few projects a year directly involved with educating others about the importance of stewarding God&rsquo;s creation. This is one area I hope to see my involvement increase in the coming years.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Why is this work important to conservation? &nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>\n	The importance of Blue Heron Ministries work is twofold. First, this work is on the front lines of conservation, actively conserving and restoring natural areas. This is where the battle to protect and steward God&rsquo;s great creation is happening. We work every day in the field fighting invasive species, collecting and planting native species, getting native ecosystems established, returning fire to the landscape of fire dependent ecosystems, and teaching other people to do the same. &nbsp;</p>\n<div>\n	Second, Blue Heron Ministries concentrates on the most degraded and rare ecosystems in North America, the prairie/oak woodland continuum. &nbsp;We work in the fens, bogs, prairies, savannas, and oak woodlands of northern Indiana, northwest Ohio, and southern Michigan. We seek to preserve the most vulnerable and rare ecosystems in our area in order to preserve biodiversity and all of its components. &nbsp;We believe that God created all of these ecosystems and created them good. It is our responsibility to steward these systems, especially since we are almost entirely responsible for their degradation. At Blue Heron Ministries, we are doing our part to keep these pieces of God&rsquo;s glorious creation intact and functioning.\n	<p>\n		<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">What about your work gives you hope?</span></strong></p>\n	<p>\n		<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">I have only worked for Blue Heron Ministries for just over one year, but in that time I have seen our crew restore and improve a very large [amount of land]. Some of the projects I have been a part of have taken areas completely dominated by invasive species and returned them to high quality natural habitat. I am given hope by seeing the affects of just one small group of about four field workers and realizing how much of a difference they can make. If we can do this with such a small band of dedicated stewards, I can only imagine how great the effect would be if this model became a movement in the Christian church.</span></p>\n	<p>\n		<strong>What was most memorable and important to you about your time at Au Sable?</strong></p>\n	<p>\n		This question must be answered in two parts. First, it was Randy VanDragt&rsquo;s &#39;Restoration Ecology&#39; class that centralized my passion for restoring God&rsquo;s creation through restoration ecology. I had always loved God&rsquo;s creation, but through my courses at Au Sable, and culminating in Randy&rsquo;s class, I learned that God has given me the passion and calling to serve him by actively stewarding His creation through my employment. My second most memorable and important experience at Au Sable was meeting and marring my wife Emily (Hoekwater). We met during the environmental education internship in the fall of 2002. &nbsp;We were good friends from the beginning, but if you ask either one of us at that time if we could foresee dating the other, we both would have said &ldquo;not a chance.&rdquo; We continued to work together on and off at Au Sable over the next few years. God worked in both of our hearts and by the fall of 2005 I had fallen in love with Emily, convinced her to consider me as a romantic interest, and after dating for a year, we were married in the fall of 2006. So, Au Sable was the most influential factor in both my current employment and in marrying my wife, Emily Brittenham.</p>\n	<p>\n		<strong>How does your faith in Jesus Christ affect the work you do today?</strong></p>\n	<p>\n		My faith in Jesus Christ is what gives me hope, joy, purpose, and perseverance in this field. I know that ultimately Christ will make all things new, and we will see Him restore all of creation. But, I am also given a purpose in that I am an instrument in his restoration of creation, and I am called to share the command for Christians to steward God&rsquo;s creation with others.</p>\n	<p>\n		<strong>How did your time at Au Sable help prepare you for what you are doing now?</strong></p>\n	<p>\n		My time at Au Sable opened my eyes to the responsibility I have as a Christian to care for creation. It also brought to a head my passions in life and showed me how to best use those passions for God&rsquo;s kingdom. Au Sable taught me the core of Christian stewardship and how to practice this stewardship in everyday life. Au Sable also gave me the academic knowledge I needed to continue my studies into graduate school and to begin my career as a restoration biologist. No other place or experience was more instrumental in my personal development as a Christian caring for God&rsquo;s creation than Au Sable was.</p>\n	<p>\n		<strong>Why do you think people should continue to study at Au Sable today?</strong></p>\n	<p>\n		I think people should continue to study at Au Sable because there is to my knowledge no better place to learn about our responsibilities as followers of Jesus Christ to care for the created order. Au Sable has a long history of molding individuals into the stewards that God intended them to be and has learned to do this very well and effectively. The academic classes and programming are outstanding, and the faculty and staff are second to none. But, Au Sable is more than just an institution of higher learning; it is a community of devoted Christ followers who seek to carry out God&rsquo;s will in their lives and to teach others to do the same. To anyone who has an affection towards God&rsquo;s creation and seeks to learn more about creation and their connection and responsibility towards it, Au Sable is the place to study.</p>\n</div>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_31\";s:0:\"\";s:10:\"field_id_4\";s:11:\"{filedir_1}\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"541\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"541\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:61:\"profiles_in_stewardship_john_brittenham_blue_heron_ministries\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"13\";s:8:\"category\";a:2:{i:0;s:2:\"18\";i:1;s:2:\"23\";}}'),(16245,173,1,6,2,0,0,'98.209.71.63','Sidebar Ad: EEIP','sidebar_ad_eeip','open','y',0,0,0,0,'y','n',1304572429,'n','2011','05','05',0,0,20131006161850,0,0,'a:10:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"6\";s:11:\"field_ft_16\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:11:\"field_ft_17\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_ft_18\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_ft_19\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_id_17\";s:83:\"/church_and_community/community_schools_program/environmental_education_internship/\";s:11:\"field_id_19\";a:3:{s:3:\"old\";s:212:\"[71] Alumni and Grad Fellows\n[72] Alumni Updates\n[74] Books and Publications\n[76] Certificate Programs\n[77] Church and Community\n[79] Conferences and Retreats\n[81] Costs and Financial Aid\n[83] Donate\n[90] History\";s:10:\"selections\";a:10:{i:0;s:0:\"\";i:1;s:2:\"25\";i:2;s:2:\"26\";i:3;s:2:\"40\";i:4;s:2:\"16\";i:5;s:2:\"29\";i:6;s:2:\"34\";i:7;s:2:\"15\";i:8;s:2:\"28\";i:9;s:2:\"64\";}s:7:\"options\";a:117:{i:0;s:1:\"2\";i:1;s:1:\"8\";i:2;s:2:\"24\";i:3;s:3:\"576\";i:4;s:3:\"356\";i:5;s:3:\"361\";i:6;s:3:\"362\";i:7;s:3:\"571\";i:8;s:3:\"586\";i:9;s:2:\"88\";i:10;s:2:\"37\";i:11;s:3:\"151\";i:12;s:3:\"531\";i:13;s:2:\"12\";i:14;s:3:\"473\";i:15;s:2:\"49\";i:16;s:2:\"56\";i:17;s:2:\"14\";i:18;s:3:\"533\";i:19;s:3:\"273\";i:20;s:3:\"227\";i:21;s:3:\"211\";i:22;s:2:\"47\";i:23;s:3:\"272\";i:24;s:1:\"9\";i:25;s:3:\"159\";i:26;s:3:\"255\";i:27;s:3:\"256\";i:28;s:2:\"32\";i:29;s:2:\"89\";i:30;s:2:\"17\";i:31;s:3:\"536\";i:32;s:1:\"6\";i:33;s:3:\"279\";i:34;s:3:\"275\";i:35;s:3:\"278\";i:36;s:2:\"42\";i:37;s:2:\"43\";i:38;s:3:\"532\";i:39;s:2:\"19\";i:40;s:2:\"30\";i:41;s:2:\"31\";i:42;s:1:\"1\";i:43;s:3:\"404\";i:44;s:2:\"22\";i:45;s:2:\"51\";i:46;s:3:\"591\";i:47;s:3:\"426\";i:48;s:3:\"274\";i:49;s:3:\"157\";i:50;s:2:\"41\";i:51;s:2:\"52\";i:52;s:3:\"588\";i:53;s:1:\"3\";i:54;s:2:\"65\";i:55;s:2:\"27\";i:56;s:2:\"36\";i:57;s:2:\"35\";i:58;s:2:\"38\";i:59;s:3:\"574\";i:60;s:2:\"20\";i:61;s:2:\"33\";i:62;s:2:\"50\";i:63;s:2:\"11\";i:64;s:1:\"5\";i:65;s:1:\"7\";i:66;s:3:\"313\";i:67;s:3:\"241\";i:68;s:2:\"39\";i:69;s:3:\"511\";i:70;s:3:\"162\";i:71;s:3:\"298\";i:72;s:2:\"67\";i:73;s:3:\"507\";i:74;s:2:\"84\";i:75;s:3:\"530\";i:76;s:3:\"393\";i:77;s:2:\"23\";i:78;s:3:\"276\";i:79;s:3:\"355\";i:80;s:3:\"280\";i:81;s:2:\"21\";i:82;s:3:\"551\";i:83;s:1:\"4\";i:84;s:3:\"160\";i:85;s:3:\"547\";i:86;s:2:\"13\";i:87;s:3:\"268\";i:88;s:2:\"10\";i:89;s:2:\"68\";i:90;s:2:\"53\";i:91;s:2:\"54\";i:92;s:2:\"55\";i:93;s:2:\"18\";i:94;s:2:\"46\";i:95;s:3:\"326\";i:96;s:3:\"206\";i:97;s:2:\"83\";i:98;s:3:\"589\";i:99;s:3:\"277\";i:100;s:3:\"219\";i:101;s:3:\"205\";i:102;s:3:\"493\";i:103;s:3:\"409\";i:104;s:3:\"321\";i:105;s:3:\"548\";i:106;s:3:\"336\";i:107;s:3:\"158\";i:108;s:2:\"44\";i:109;s:3:\"286\";i:110;s:3:\"293\";i:111;s:3:\"363\";i:112;s:3:\"557\";i:113;s:3:\"163\";i:114;s:3:\"520\";i:115;s:3:\"494\";i:116;s:2:\"45\";}}s:11:\"field_id_16\";s:27:\"{filedir_4}Sidebar-EEIP.jpg\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"173\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"173\";}'),(16401,624,1,1,1,0,0,'98.209.71.63','Submit Posting','submit_posting','Hidden','y',0,0,0,0,'n','n',1381245093,'n','2013','10','08',0,0,20131014110234,0,0,'a:9:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"1\";s:10:\"field_ft_1\";s:4:\"none\";s:10:\"field_id_1\";s:104:\"<h1>\n	Submit Posting</h1>\n<p>\n	Please submit a job for us to post.

Having the opportunity to think deeply in this way, in a beautiful setting, with great people, while honing additional environmental skills and knowledge, was most important to me.&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p>\n	<strong>How does your faith in Jesus Christ affect the work you do today? &nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>\n	<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">My theology, which most importantly is marked by my faith in Jesus Christ, is at the root of everything I do vocationally. I believe Christ is reconciling </span><em style=\"font-size: 12px;\">all things</em><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"> to himself. This includes the broken relationship between people and the creation. Christians are called to participate, in some small way, in this redemptive work. When I&rsquo;m helping a community plan a water trail or brainstorming how to get youth (re)connected to the outdoors, I see that as a redemptive activity and part of my calling as a Christian, not just a task at work.&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p>\n	<strong>How did your time at Au Sable help prepare you for what you are doing now? &nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>\n	<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">As I said before, Au Sable provided me the time and a venue for some deep soul-searching. Most importantly, it offered me the space to hone it a robust ethic&mdash;one that combines my faith, passion for cities and the environment&mdash;that I now take with me into any job or further education. I think Au Sable best prepared me for what I&rsquo;m doing now by strengthening these more foundational, core beliefs. I also think the more technical and scientific knowledge and know-how that I learned through my Au Sable courses gave me that edge to get a good first job right after Au Sable.</span></p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Why do you think people should continue to study at Au Sable today? &nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>\n	<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">I think people&rsquo;s reasons will vary based on their stage in college and personal goals, but if you&rsquo;re willing to really open up to the whole Au Sable experience, it could help you answer why we are called to be stewards of creation and how you can become a part of that story.</span></p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_31\";s:0:\"\";s:10:\"field_id_4\";s:11:\"{filedir_1}\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"517\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"517\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:35:\"profile_in_stewardship_curtis_witek\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"13\";s:8:\"category\";a:2:{i:0;s:2:\"18\";i:1;s:2:\"23\";}}'),(25383,888,1,9,8,0,0,'108.225.217.87','Kyla DeHaan Awarded 2015 Calvin B.

DeWitt Leadership Fellowship recipient for 2015. DeWitt&#39;s visionary leadership led Au Sable from its inception, and called upon the wider Christian community to care for the earth out of joy for God&rsquo;s gift of creation and out of our responsibility as earthkeepers tasked with serving and protecting it. &nbsp;Kyla is preparing for this work with an intention to become active in agricultural missions, and will be taking courses at Au Sable&rsquo;s Pacific Rim Campus this year to complete her double major in International Development and Environmental Science. At Pacific Rim, Kyla will be taking Ecological Agriculture with Dr. Ron Vos (Dordt College, Iowa) and International Development and Environmental Sustainability with Dr. Michael Ferber (The King&rsquo;s University, Alberta). Kyla chose these courses because as she puts it &ldquo;I love agriculture and want to gain practical skills on how to sustainably use it to benefit the environment and communities around the world.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Kyla_1(1).jpg\" style=\"width: 188px; height: 250px; float: left;\" />The DeWitt Fellowship is not only about recognizing superior academic achievement (Kyla&rsquo;s cumulative college GPA is 3.90), but, even more importantly, about recognizing leadership in creation care. Kyla has been exercising her gifts of leadership in, among other ways, working at a local Hamilton, Ontario food bank called Neighbor 2 Neighbor (N2N). At N2N, Kyla developed the organization&rsquo;s Cross Cultural Diversity Training Program, showing staff members how to more effectively relate to and serve individuals from different (and non-Canadian) cultures who used the food bank. At N2N, Kyla not only delivered food, <em>but also learned the value of having it grow in urban community gardens</em>. But Kyla was only just beginning to diversify her agricultural skills. Working during the summer of 2014 for the Canadian Goat Soap Company (yes, there really is such an organization), Kyla learned how to herd, milk, bed, and feed goats, as well as how to make goat cheese and &ldquo;goat soap&rdquo; (which is made from goat&rsquo;s milk). As goats are important animals in pastoral cultures worldwide, this is extremely practical knowledge. Kyla notes that the most important thing she learned from her experience with goats was &ldquo;how to prioritize work tasks and have fun while doing it.&nbsp; Taking care of animals involves being available at all times and being prepared for the unexpected, but not getting frustrated that emergencies may take away from your planned daily tasks.&rdquo; &nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Kyla&rsquo;s life and work are respected by all who know her. Dr. Robert Joustra, Director of the Centre for Christian Scholarship at Redeemer University College said of Kyla, &ldquo;I would rate her as one of the best students I have ever taught, not only for her keen intellect, but her relaxed and conversational demeanor. She is far ahead of her peers in maturity in both faith and professionalism.&rdquo; Ida Kaastra Mutoigo, Director of World Renew, Canada, who has known Kyla as a student at Redeemer, said of her, &ldquo;She has a lot of innate gifts and high energy for pursuing a successful career in missions.&rdquo; Kyla affirms that judgment, noting, &ldquo;Through the grace of God I became convinced halfway through my first year that I was being called into another field, particularly related to agriculture. Therefore in my second year I transferred schools as well as my major to international development and environmental studies with the intent of pursuing a career in agricultural missions.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	All of us here at Au Sable congratulate Kyla on her award as the 2015 DeWitt Fellow, and commend her for his aspiration to serve others as a servant of Jesus Christ. Welcome Kyla, we look forward to having you here!</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_27\";s:26:\"{filedir_8}kyla_Thumb1.jpg\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"888\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"888\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:51:\"kyla_dehaan_awarded_2015_calvin_b_dewitt_fellowship\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"28\";}'),(28812,1009,1,9,8271,0,0,'207.242.239.194','Creating Opportunity: Au Sable Opens New Position for Environmental Education Program Assistant','creating_opportunity_au_sable_opens_new_position_for_environmental_educatio','open','y',0,0,0,0,'y','n',1472223900,'n','2016','08','26',0,0,20160826172601,0,0,'a:11:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"9\";s:11:\"field_ft_25\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_ft_26\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_ft_27\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:11:\"field_id_25\";s:440:\"<p>\n	Au Sable has created and is now actively seeking to fill a new staff position, that of EEIP Program Assistant Intern.

He might not have realized it then, but in crafting his science classes with these characteristics, Harold was laying the groundwork for a program in environmental education in which his pupils would <em>learn differently</em> and <em>see anew</em> the scientific processes active in nature, and the reasons that God&rsquo;s creation was to be valued and cared for in these natural environments.</p>\n<p>\n	Eventually, Harold&rsquo;s dreams matured into a full-fledged and official Au Sable undertaking, the Environmental Education Internship Program (EEIP), pursuing simultaneously the goals of teaching K-8 students to love and understand the natural world around them, and providing intentional training, teaching experience, and professional certification to college students teaching in the program as Environmental Education Interns. <strong><em>In continuing to expand that work, Au Sable has created and is now actively seeking to fill a new staff position, that of EEIP Program Assistant.</em></strong></p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/teacher_students_skiing.jpg\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 200px; float: right;\" /></p>\n<p>\n	The Program Assistant will enjoy a longer-term appointment of up to 37 weeks at the Institute, and have a more direct role in intern training, educational assessment of EEIP lessons, and expanding the network of public, parochial, and home schools now participating in EEIP. Au Sable&rsquo;s Environmental Education Coordinator, Paul Wiemerslage, explains the role and need for the new position this way, &ldquo;With the adoption of new science standards and changes in the way we deliver programs, there is a need to bring on additional support to accomplish tasks associated with program development.&nbsp; The EEIP Program Assistant will work closely with me to deliver programs and assist in curriculum development, allowing us to support teachers and interns in new ways.&nbsp; Additionally, it&rsquo;s a great opportunity for a young professional to gain a foundational understanding of non-profit administration.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	Being Au Sable&rsquo;s EEIP Program Assistant will provide an individual with unique and valuable professional credentials that they will carry with them when they leave the position. Au Sable&rsquo;s Executive Director, Dr. Fred Van Dyke, a scientist and educator with over 35 years experience in environmental education, notes, &ldquo;There are a lot of short-term internships in environmental science and education. These are valuable experiences that teach participating interns how to become good teachers in a field setting. But most of these experiences don&rsquo;t teach the interns <img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/DSC_1811.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 299px; float: left;\" />how to plan curriculum or create actual lesson plans, how to develop methods of assessment on the effectiveness of the teaching, or how to work directly with full-time teachers to build, develop, and expand professional educational networks that support an environmental education program. The position of EEIP Program Assistant offers the right person the chance to learn, practice, and receive training in all these areas. The person who gets this job will likely be with us for eight to nine months, and that&rsquo;s enough time to learn these skills well. The person who gets the experience of being Au Sable&rsquo;s EEIP Program Assistant will leave this position with very distinctive experiences and credentials that will create further, more advanced opportunities for them in science and education.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	The work will start soon.

A long-time member of Au Sable&rsquo;s family of Participating Colleges, North Park University, located in Chicago, Illinois, has now joined another important group of Au Sable&rsquo;s supporting institutions, the Sustaining Partners. Sustaining Partner colleges and universities make direct financial contributions to the operation of Au Sable&rsquo;s academic program, and in return receive discounted tuition, reserved course slots and reserved research opportunities for their students.</p>\n<p>\n	With the new partnership agreement, North Park joins Bethel University, Calvin College, Cedarville University, Cornerstone University, Covenant College, The King&rsquo;s University College, Messiah College, and Redeemer University College to bring the total number of current Sustaining Partners to nine. Fred Van Dyke, Au Sable&rsquo;s Executive Director noted, &ldquo;It is both a delight and distinction to welcome such a distinguished institution as North Park University to the Sustaining Partner family. Over 100 Au Sable alumni are North Park graduates, making North Park a major contributor to Au Sable&rsquo;s alumni community and the number has been growing rapidly in recent years. It&rsquo;s fitting for us to enter into this new relationship with North Park that will bring additional benefits to its current and future students in their interactions with Au Sable. And it is an honor for us to partner with such a distinguished institution, one that works in the heart of a major urban area.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	North Park distinguished itself recently in the Au Sable community by being home to Katie Patterson, the inaugural (2014) winner of the Harold Z. Snyder Fellowship. Speaking of her education at Au Sable and its connection to North Park, Katie said, &ldquo;I believe that Au Sable&rsquo;s vision to &ldquo;inspire and educate people to serve, protect, and restore God&rsquo;s earth&rdquo; is an undeniable continuation of North Park&rsquo;s mission to &ldquo;prepare students for lives of significance and service&rdquo;.&nbsp; The most substantial aspect of my time was the community that I was a part of while taking classes with the institute. As integral to my experience as learning lake chemistry and identifying hundreds of marine invertebrates was, the open and honest conversations with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ were just as much so. After each session at Au Sable I walked back onto the North Park campus with an unhindered passion for God and His Creation, and I could not keep myself from sharing my experience with everyone I met!&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;Through its status as a Sustaining Partner, North Park will now be able to offer its own students reduced tuition for Au Sable courses and special consideration for positions in the Au Sable research program, while its own administration can play a greater role in the review and development of Au Sable&rsquo;s own curriculum. North Park&rsquo;s Provost, Dr. Michael O. Emerson, noted, &ldquo;&ldquo;We are thrilled to move to Sustaining Partner status with Au Sable. Learning to care for God&rsquo;s creation is essential and urgent, and that is why our partnership with Au Sable is vital.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	All of us at Au Sable are thrilled to welcome North Park University to the Sustaining Partner family.

But Au Sable&rsquo;s mission is not limited to these. It is carried out by thousands of Au Sable alumni at work worldwide. The Au Sable mission is being accomplished by the Au Sable <em>community</em>, and part of Au Sable&rsquo;s work is to strengthen every member of that community to be a more active part of this mission. To that end, <strong>Au Sable is pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Jon Terry as Au Sable&rsquo;s new Director of Community Development and Alumni Relations.</strong></p>\n<p>\n	Raised in northern Michigan in nearby Charlevoix and Petoskey, Jon has since become well-traveled, spending much of his time in Washington, D.C. in leadership and advisory positions in the federal government, national nonprofit organizations, and private consulting. Coming to Au Sable as Founder and President of Capitol Youth Strategies, Jon has served as a Development Consultant to national youth organizations such as YMCA, Committee for Children, and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). Prior to his leadership at Capitol Youth Strategies, Jon was YMCA&rsquo;s Director of Federal Government Relations and previously served as Policy Advisor for one of Michigan&rsquo;s congressional representatives, Congressman Fred Upton.&nbsp; In the course of his work, Jon has played leading roles in raising millions of dollars from both government and the private sector for his employers and clients. With his extensive experience in fundraising, marketing, communications, and government relations, Jon also brings a personal commitment to Au Sable&rsquo;s mission. A graduate of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Jon received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology with a minor in environmental studies, studies which included two sessions at Au Sable&rsquo;s Great Lakes Campus (where he will now have an office!). He will be attending the Au Sable Alumni and Friends Reunion this August and officially begin his duties at the Institute beginning in October. Regarding his time at Au Sable and his feelings about joining the Au Sable staff in this critical new role, Jon remarked &ldquo;I am excited and honored to be chosen for the position. The Au Sable Institute has played an instrumental role in my life and I firmly believe that it plays a unique and important role in furthering God&rsquo;s kingdom on earth. I am committed to making the Institute an enduring and great organization and nurturing a vibrant community of alumni and friends.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/terryspeaking.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 210px; float: right;\" />The creation of the position of Director of Community Development and Alumni Relations is part of an overall reorganization of the Au Sable&rsquo;s staff to redefine organizational roles in ways that will speak more directly to Au Sable&rsquo;s mission. As part of this effort, Executive Director Dr. Fred Van Dyke noted, &ldquo;Building the Au Sable community has been a neglected effort in our ministry, yet it is this community that is dispersed across the country, the continent, and the world in the work of creation care. We have begun a number of initiatives in the last several years to strengthen and support that community, including the development of the Au Sable Professional Network, creating the Alumni and Friends Reunion, and strengthening links to employment in creation care through the Au Sable LinkedIn Page, home to the Au Sable Jobs Board. But, with the addition of Jon Terry, we have added a person of skill, experience, and influence who will be devoted full time to the development of this community and its ties to the Institute, a critical component if Au Sable is going to continue its work for future generations.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	Welcome, Jon, to your new mission at Au Sable!

Actually, I grew up in an almost suburb of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota called Hudson, Wisconsin.&nbsp; There is a five or six mile buffer of cornfield and forest that separates the true suburbs of the Twin Cities from my hometown.&nbsp; It is a pretty amazing place actually.&nbsp; My home was located a stones throw from Willow River State Park.&nbsp; During the summer, the band of neighborhood kids and myself would voyage with peanut butter sandwiches in hand and Swiss army knife in pocket through the park to swim and fish, and then sneak back to our homes before our parents would call us in for supper.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>What were your majors in college?&nbsp; What Colleges did you go to?</em></p>\n<p>\n	I recently graduated from Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA with a Master&rsquo;s in Environmental Education.&nbsp; Prior to that I attended Bethel University in St. Paul, MN and graduated with a degree in Biology and a minor in Philosophy.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>What courses did you take at Au Sable?&nbsp; Any favorites?&nbsp; </em></p>\n<p>\n	I took a number of courses at Au Sable: Plant Ecology and Biosphere Science at Pacific Rim and Limnology, Insect Biology and Ecology, and Winter Stream Ecology at the Great Lakes Campus.&nbsp; I don&rsquo;t think I could pick a favorite.&nbsp; Every class had something memorable and meaningful.&nbsp; In Plant Ecology, we hiked to the base of a glacier and <img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Paul-Hydrology Lesson.jpg\" style=\"float: left; width: 250px; height: 232px; \" />crossed several torrential streams in blanket fog to study life zones.&nbsp; Emerging from the confusion of the fog at the base of a glacier is a dream-like memory.&nbsp; In Biosphere Science we explored the marine environment of Puget Sound by snorkel!&nbsp; Here at the Great Lakes campus, Limnology met everyday on a different aqua colored lake to take samples from aboard a pontoon boat.&nbsp; Insect Ecology revealed to me the fascinating world of insects.&nbsp; I am a grown man, and I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoy chasing butterflies with a net.&nbsp; And how could I forget Winter Stream Ecology.&nbsp; Below zero temperatures; gobs of snow everywhere, yet we found an abundance of life thriving in the streams.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>How has your Au Sable experience influenced you?</em></p>\n<p>\n	I think it made me aware of the greater world of science beyond the university.&nbsp; For whatever reason I bought into the idea that school was enough to prepare me for the outside world, and it wasn&rsquo;t.&nbsp; Au Sable&rsquo;s classes, professors, and staff opened doors that I never knew existed. The world opened up for me here, and I have seen this same thing happen for so many other students as well.&nbsp; There is something special and deeply engrained in the heart of this place.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s difficult to explain, but I continue to see its result.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>What role did environmental education play in your early years?</em></p>\n<p>\n	I grew up among a cadre of informal educators comprised of parents and friends who shared their joy of nature with me.&nbsp; Aside from my father and mother taking me camping and fishing from a very early age; Mrs. Miller, the mother of a childhood friend also heavily influenced me.&nbsp; During the summer we would pick berries and peas from her garden, hunt gophers with bow and arrow, search for agates and salamanders in the gully, and sell gourds, pumpkins and corn in the fall.&nbsp; One time we dug a hole twelve feet deep in the middle of the front lawn just to see if we could find the water table.&nbsp; She encouraged us to explore.&nbsp; In talking with Trish [Fagg, our former Environmental Education Coordinator] recently, she told me that the first step in being a naturalist is to simply ask questions, and I think she is right.&nbsp; In that sense, Mrs. Miller taught us to be naturalists by encouraging us ask questions like, &ldquo;At what color is a raspberry perfectly ripe?&rdquo; or &ldquo;What kind of food do salamanders like best?&rdquo; or even, &ldquo;Is it possible to dig a hole to China?&rdquo; and then allowed us the freedom to discover the answers ourselves.&nbsp; Sometimes we found the answers, sometimes we didn&rsquo;t, but we were always learning.&nbsp; I am still not convinced that with the right tools, we can&rsquo;t make it to China&hellip;</p>\n<p>\n	<em>What made you realize that Environmental Education was the right vocation for you?</em></p>\n<p>\n	When I was in high school I actually wanted to work in construction.&nbsp; It took sports and my parents&rsquo; relentless insistence to get me to attend college.&nbsp; When I graduated with my biology degree I was still thinking that construction might be the path for me.&nbsp; Almost by accident (or divine plan&hellip;) I ended up working as an intern for Au Sable&rsquo;s <img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Paul-Winter-Interns-07.jpg\" style=\"float: right; width: 250px; height: 236px; \" />environmental education program.&nbsp; The internship only operates for part of the year, so I ended up working construction with my brother in-law during the off-season. &nbsp;It was while working with him that I realized I would never be satisfied doing something that didn&rsquo;t directly impact others.&nbsp; While construction is a great trade, I felt restless and was constantly thinking about purpose in life.&nbsp; &nbsp;I was being called to put my education and my passion for God and the environment to use.&nbsp; Environmental education emerged from that moment as a real possibility for me, not just a one-time experience but as a potential career.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>What is your hope and vision for the Environmental Education program in the future?</em></p>\n<p>\n	Trish founded this program 34 years ago.&nbsp; In that time over 120,000 students have participated in our program.&nbsp; It has trained 230 interns and our reach beyond that is perhaps incalculable.&nbsp; In the past ten years or so we have seen our numbers slowly decline each year.&nbsp; There are a lot of reasons for this; chiefly the economic hardships that we and everyone else have had to endure.&nbsp; That being said, teachers are hard pressed to justify and fund field trips.&nbsp; In light of the situation I will be working closely with teachers to assure them that Au Sable&rsquo;s programming is worth the cost and will exceed their expectations.&nbsp; Where our programming doesn&rsquo;t meet their needs, we will create programs that do.&nbsp; Where costs are an issue, we will work to find funding or create programs that work within their constraints.&nbsp; All options are on the table. Creating a demand and increasing participation will allow us to increase the extent of the internship and the vitality of the organization.&nbsp; There is no reason we can&rsquo;t have year round educational programming and outreach for the communities of northern Michigan.</p>\n<p>\n	<em>Any last thoughts?</em></p>\n<p>\n	I&rsquo;m happy to be here.</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_27\";s:48:\"{filedir_2}Paul-Wiemersalge-HeadShot-100pxl1.jpg\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"269\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"269\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:21:\"meet_paul_wiemerslage\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"28\";}'),(27282,826,1,2,8,0,0,'207.242.239.194','Featured Faculty: Scott Carr, Environmental Chemistry','faculty_profiles_scott_carr_environmental_chemistry','open','y',0,0,0,0,'y','n',1449065099,'n','2015','12','02',0,0,20151203142300,0,0,'a:13:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"2\";s:10:\"field_ft_2\";s:4:\"none\";s:10:\"field_ft_3\";s:4:\"none\";s:10:\"field_ft_4\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:11:\"field_ft_31\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:10:\"field_id_2\";s:1098:\"<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/SC_2.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 188px; float: right;\" />Although many people think of &ldquo;environmental issues&rdquo; as large scale <em>effects</em> they can see or physically describe, the <em>causes</em> of these effects are often chemical in nature.&nbsp; Scott Carr, Professor of Chemistry at Anderson University (Indiana), enables students to enter a new level of understanding of environmental problems through his unique course, Environmental Chemistry, offered each year at Au Sable&rsquo;s Great Lakes Campus (Michigan) during Summer Session II (July-August).

Scott&rsquo;s skill in making a course like <em>Environmental Chemistry</em> a pleasure rather than an ordeal is appreciated by all of his students. As one student noted, &ldquo;The course brought together many issues that affect everyone in the world, such as water treatment, water pollution, air pollution, heavy metals and how they affect us. It was a very relevant course! [Scott] gave us real world examples and took us out to sites where the topics he was teaching were exemplified.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	Scott teaches his students skills that matter (and matter to employers) through classroom- and field-based inquiries into the chemistry of the environment, including sampling methods for testing chemical composition of air, water, and soil; analysis of chemical data; and interpretation of chemical data relative to assessment of hazards and risks to human health. Students in <em>Environmental Chemistry </em>leave Scott&rsquo;s course with new appreciation of the chemical nature of God&rsquo;s creation, and the skills to investigate and understand some of its basic chemical attributes.</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/SC_3.png\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 188px; float: right;\" />Scott&rsquo;s genuine care and concern for others is evident from the first time you meet him.&nbsp; He remarks,&ldquo;Au Sable Institute has captured a piece of my heart.&nbsp; If offers a sanctuary of shalom inviting those who pass under it&#39;s gates to find more than a sense of peace, but also an opportunity to find place and purpose.&nbsp; Teaching in this environment strips away many of the accouterments that accompany our current state of more virtual higher-level learning and allows the students, faculty and staff to get to the actual essence of education by being immersed in their studies and feeling the pulse of their topics.

We just learned that while celebrations have been planned for throughout the year, they would be kicking off the festivities at the start of the new semester on January 4<sup>th</sup>. And, would our students like to take part in a flash mob dance planned for the celebration? It was a very quick &ldquo;yes.&rdquo; And if the enthusiasm displayed in practicing and planning for the dance is any indication, it&rsquo;s going to be great. There will be about 30 students dancing in all, including us. What a great way to participate in the life of this college and build relationships with fellow students.</p>\n<h2>\n	Friday - January 1</h2>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Happy New Year!</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	We just got back from ringing in the New Year in a most unique way: worshipping and praying with brothers and sisters in Christ for the blessings of the past year and for God&rsquo;s grace to be present in our lives in the year to come.&nbsp; I learned recently that my own Christian tradition held similar services once, and it is a ceremony I wish we would bring back.&nbsp; Instead of couching New Years in terms of countdowns and resolutions, it offered us the opportunity to reflect on the previous year&rsquo;s blessings and lamentations and look ahead with confidence in God&rsquo;s love for us.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	The students dressed in their Indian best: saris purchased earlier in the day.&nbsp; And the excitement of the evening spilled out of the church after the service where we enjoyed meeting new people with handshakes and words of &ldquo;Happy New Year&rdquo; and ate refreshments.</p>\n<p>\n	Now off to bed!&nbsp; Tomorrow we travel to the coast.</p>\n<h2>\n	Monday - January 4</h2>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Fishermen</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	After some morning birdwatching, we moved in earnest to talk with fishermen, learn about the fishing trade, and explore how the Fisherman&rsquo;s Welfare Group plays a role in sustainable fishing at Point Calimere.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Dolphin Rescue</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	This evening we rescued a pink dolphin beached on the shores at Point Calimere! This course is starting to develop a penchant for wildlife rescue.&nbsp; Last year, we shook loose a sea snake caught in a fishing net in a mangrove forest. This year, we had just completed our studies of the coastal grassland and dune ecosystems and were basking in the soft glow of a late afternoon on the beach, when we saw through our binoculars movement of a pink and gray creature in the distance. We quickly confirmed that it was a pink dolphin, washed upon the shore.</p>\n<p>\n	The Bishop Heber faculty quickly called the Forest Department to send officials to rescue it. Since we were in a fairly remote area of the park, we waited almost an hour for rescue to come, during which time we were glued to our dolphin friend (&ldquo;it&rsquo;s still moving&rdquo;) and whispering silent prayers.</p>\n<p>\n	When help finally arrived, five men crossed the stream bank where we were standing in order to reach the shore were the dolphin lay. The waves were relentless, and their first and second attempts to help the dolphin over come them and swin back out to sea were thwarted. &nbsp;After 30 minutes of trying, the sun was getting too low and the dolphin was getting more stressed. We left it with prayers that the high tide would come quickly and allow it to return to the ocean where it belongs.</p>\n<p>\n	Update: We received word from the Forest Department this morning that the dolphin was not on the beach this morning, which likely means that it was able to swim away with the higher tide. Very happy our prayers were answered!</p>\n<h2>\n	Tuesday - January 5</h2>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Golden Jubilee Practice Makes New Friends</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Today we returned from Point Calimere, and Golden Jubilee dance practice began again in earnest. This means many opportunities for getting to know fellow students at Bishop Heber College.&nbsp; So much fun seeing students from North America and Indian students from Bishop Heber having good conversations, sharing with one another, and building friendships!</p>\n<h2>\n	Wednesday - January 6</h2>\n<p>\n	<strong>Golden Jubilee Celebration</strong></p>\n<p>\n	Today marked the beginning of Bishop Heber&rsquo;s Golden Jubilee (50 Year) celebration.

Today, we had opportunity to meet with a chief manager of a local tea plantation to dive into the complete production of tea (from tree to cup) and engage in the challenging conservation and development questions facing tea production in Valparai. Mr. Chandra Kumar graciously spent the day with us and answered questions about how wildlife are managed and protected on their tea estate, what the most pressing challenges , how they care for and compensate workers, what measures they take for mitigating human-animal conflict, and a whole lot more.&nbsp; Here are a few photographs of our productive day:</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>A Side of Gaur</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Late afternoon, on our way to our second interview site to talk with tea plantation workers about human-animal conflict on tea plantations, and came across a herd of gaur (wild ox) making their way to the forest for the night.&nbsp; Never know what you&rsquo;re going to find here!</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Gaur1.jpg\" style=\"width: 550px; height: 310px;\" /></p>\n<h2>\n	Saturday - January 9</h2>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Morning Surprises</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Going for a short walk this morning, I came across this&nbsp;<em>kollam</em>&nbsp;artwork outside one of the houses in our neighborhood. It was undoubtedly made by the matriarch of the house in the early morning from white and red colored chalk (in the past, they used rice powder).</p>\n<p>\n	We encounter this front step artwork almost everywhere we go, but this morning it struck me how glorious it is that this form of public art is enmeshed in everyday life &ndash; new artists created through lessons from their mothers and new artwork born each morning. Can&rsquo;t tell which is more beautiful.</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Kollam.jpg\" style=\"width: 350px; height: 622px;\" /></p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Great</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Our student Renee awoke this morning to see the sunrise over the mountains and</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Leopard Pug Mark</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Journeying to our study sites for the evergreen and montane grasslands and came across this leopard pug mark. Big things afoot?</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>The Evergreen Strangler</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	As part of our evergreen forest studies this morning, we passed under the shade of one of the most impressive trees in the tropical forest: the strangler fig.&nbsp; The strangler fig has adapted to parasitize canopy trees throughout the tropics. The seed of the fig lands on a host branch, sends roots all the way down to the forest floor and branches all the way up and out of the host trees, and then grows around the host tree. The one we passed is about as impressive a specimen as one can find with roots reaching 30 feet below the cliff face to the soil below, soaring branches, and large buttresses at its base.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>View from the Grassland</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Studying at our grassland site, Akkamalai (&ldquo;Elder Sister Hill&rdquo;) with the evergreen and montane shola forests in the background:</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Tiger Census</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	So pleased to have our former student, and current post-graduate student in wildlife ecology, Griffith, tell us all about his participation in this year&rsquo;s Tiger Census for Annamalai Tiger Reserve, which is currently underway.&nbsp; Way to go Griffith!</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Parotha</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Parotha (In North India, paratha) is a flakey, soft bread eaten with curries in India.&nbsp; It is a favorite&nbsp; Well, iIt turns out we are staying at the parotha mecca. The new chef at our hotel specializes in different types of paratha.&nbsp; We have been treated to sweet parotha, coin parotha (small coin-sized), banana parotha, egg parotha&hellip;.&nbsp; Today took the cake though. Chicken and beef-stuffed parotha. It is safe to say that we will be missing the fresh parotha when we leave Valparai.&nbsp; You can see a photo of our chicken-stuffed parotha &nbsp;and full spread below.</p>\n<h2>\n	Saturday - January 9</h2>\n<h3>\n	<strong>Sunshine</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	A Valparai morning on our way to learn about Neera Dam:</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>\n	<strong>UPASI</strong></h3>\n<p>\n	Surprised by another former student, Dr. Suresh(?), who works for UPASI, a tea research institute. Dr. Suresh and colleagues taught us about the major threats to tea in the area &ndash; primarily the rapid rise of new major pests due to climate change - and new developments in integrated pest management, which employs non-chemical ways of managing pests on tea plantations.</p>\n<p>\n	<strong>Elephant Search</strong></p>\n<p>\n	On our way to Neera dam, we caught wind from a few local residents of 13 elephants traveling through the area.&nbsp; Through four local boys, we learned that they were in a small evergreen forest patch, which is surrounded by tea estate. While our waiting for them to emerge or show themselves within the forest proved futile, it was an amazing testimony to the density evergreen forests.&nbsp; A thin strip of forest concealed a herd of 13 elephants of varying sizes.&nbsp; &nbsp;The search continues!</p>\n<h2>\n	Sunday - January 10</h2>\n<p>\n	<strong>Worship</strong></p>\n<p>\n	Just returned from Sunday worship in one of the rural villages surrounding Valparai.&nbsp; One of our professors, Dr. Gideon, is from Valparai, and his cousin serves as a pastor for a number of local churches in the area. We were privileged to attend one of them this morning.&nbsp; Upon arriving, we learned that most congregants were tea plantation workers, which felt fitting given our studies the past four days. &nbsp;Before leaving for church this morning, we read Revelation 7:9-10 as a class. This passage casts a beautiful vision of &ldquo;every tribe and people and language&rdquo; praising and glorifying God together in the coming Kingdom. What a joy it was then to be praising God together with our Tamil brothers and sisters in each of our own languages!&nbsp; We look forward to that moment in glory when we are worshiping God together again.</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_31\";s:0:\"\";s:10:\"field_id_4\";s:11:\"{filedir_1}\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"953\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"953\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:28:\"au_sable_india_liveblog_2016\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"13\";}'),(29528,795,1,5,8,0,0,'207.242.239.194','Homepage Rotator: Tropical Agriculture and Missions (Biol/Agric/Geog 343)','homepage_rotator_tropical_agriculture_and_missions_biol_agric_geog_343','closed','y',0,0,0,0,'y','n',1416327887,'n','2014','11','18',0,0,20161101171248,0,0,'a:7:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"5\";s:11:\"field_ft_14\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:11:\"field_ft_15\";s:4:\"none\";s:11:\"field_id_15\";s:109:\"news_and_resources/blog/courses_that_change_your_life_tropical_agriculture_and_missions_biol_agric#.VGtzC4cln\";s:11:\"field_id_14\";s:36:\"{filedir_1}HP-Rotator-CTCYL-TAM2.jpg\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"795\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"795\";}'),(29960,1061,1,2,8271,0,0,'207.242.239.194','Director\'s Blog - The Work at Au Sable','directors_blog_the_work_at_au_sable','open','y',0,0,0,0,'y','n',1485886480,'n','2017','01','31',0,0,20170201113241,0,0,'a:13:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"2\";s:10:\"field_ft_2\";s:4:\"none\";s:10:\"field_ft_3\";s:4:\"none\";s:10:\"field_ft_4\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:11:\"field_ft_31\";s:5:\"xhtml\";s:10:\"field_id_2\";s:328:\"<p>\n	<strong><em>This will be the first of a series in our new website feature, &quot;The Director&#39;s Blog - The Work at Au Sable&quot; which will be produced regularly as a means for Executive Director, Dr. Fred Van Dyke, to let all of you know about ongoing work here at the Institute on a regular basis.</em></strong></p>\n\";s:10:\"field_id_3\";s:5046:\"<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	<strong><em>This will be the first of a series in our new website feature, &quot;The Director&#39;s Blog - The Work at Au Sable&quot; which will be produced regularly as a means for Executive Director, Dr. Fred Van Dyke, to let all of you know about ongoing work here at the Institute on a regular basis.</em></strong></p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	Dear Friends of Au Sable,</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/Dead Man Bog_SteveRoels.jpg\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 225px; float: right;\" /></p>\n<p>\n	Thanks to all of you who have been keeping in regular contact with the Institute in so many ways; through your notes and emails to me, your visits to Au Sable, and your financial gifts.

This year 25 graduate students from eight different state universities, all participating in our AGF Program, gathered at the Great Lakes Campus on the weekend of January 14<sup>th</sup> &nbsp;and 15<sup>th</sup> for fellowship, learning about and practicing the integration of science and Christian faith, worship together, and exploration and enjoyment of God&rsquo;s creation around us. I led a snowshoe hike from nearby Papoose Lake to Deadman&rsquo;s Lake. Finding a fresh porcupine track, we followed it to the base of a dead tree, where I pointed out, from the fresh excavation and porcupine poop, that &ldquo;here&rsquo;s the den&rdquo; (my very words). One of the grad students, looking inside, added, &ldquo;And here&rsquo;s the porcupine!&rdquo; Yes, the owner was home, but, after a picture or two, we departed, being uninvited guests who had no business disturbing our neighbor in his own living room.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our Winter Session for the Environmental Education Internship Program started this week with training for all the new interns by Paul Wiemerslage, our Environmental Education Coordinator. I am glad that the training is intense, and that Paul is good at it, because students from local schools will start to arrive next week, and we must be ready. Over 130,000 people have participated in this program since it began in the 1970s, and I am constantly meeting folks who still remember vividly the lessons they learned on campus when they took part. We are proud of the many interns who have completed the program, some of these becoming environmental educators themselves. Some of you readers may be among them.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lindsay Barden, our Scientific Technician, and I are both involved in the new effort by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the US Fish and Wildlife Service to restore an iconic native fish, the arctic grayling, to the rivers of Michigan (sadly, it was exterminated in this state by the late 1930&rsquo;s). I will be working with other scientists to help identify suitable habitat sites for the initial releases. The study will provide funding for two students from our Participating Colleges to participate in the effort. Lindsay, for her part, is among those engaged in educating the public about the work, and has been given the task of creating the logo that will grace the new &ldquo;MIGrayling&rdquo; website. Although it is not yet certain if Lindsay&rsquo;s design will be the one chosen (designs are being considered from multiple sources), I wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised. So if you visit this website in the future, you might be seeing Lindsay&rsquo;s icon.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I&rsquo;ll stop for now, but I&rsquo;ll be communicating regularly with you about what is happening right now at Au Sable.

Surrounded on three sides by thousands of acres of forests, the campus overlooks Louie&rsquo;s pond and Big Twin Lake to the east and traces the North Country trail to the west.</p>\n<p>\n	The natural beauty around the Great Lakes campus is abundant and the wildlife is diverse, with numerous pristine rivers, approximately 900 lakes and ponds, some 80 bogs, myriad hardwood and coniferous forests, three Great Lakes, various sand dune communities (including Sleeping Bear Dunes), glacially carved hills, four full seasons, and abundant and varied plant and animal life. Of particular significance are Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Hartwick Pines and Wilderness State Parks, Lake Skegemog Wildlife Area, Grass River Natural Area, and the Jordan, Manistee, Au Sable, and Rapid rivers. The climate is typical of north-temperate regions, with the Great Lakes tempering the extreme temperatures. Summer days are usually mild (upper 70s to low 80s) and sunny with cooler evenings. Snow dominates the winter landscape, accumulating up to 20-40 inches deep in January.</p>\n<h2>\n	<strong>Location</strong></h2>\n<h2>\n	<strong><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1447360.0211590137!2d-85.83524828067422!3d44.885191873634504!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x881fff4f50104587%3A0xee745995bbda4e8a!2sAu+Sable+Institute+of+Environmental+Studies!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1467739715704\" style=\"border:0\" width=\"600\"></iframe></strong></h2>\n<p>\n	<strong style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Courses&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>\n	Courses run at the Great Lakes campus during May Term, Summer Session I and Summer Session II.

With the aid of distinguished guest speakers and Au Sable staff, representatives at this year&rsquo;s Council learned practical knowledge and skills about how to identify and mentor student leaders, how to work effectively with under-prepared students and move them toward becoming effective leaders, and how to work more effectively with Au Sable&rsquo;s curriculum in their own environmental programs, including how to use Au Sable in student leadership development.</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/AAC_Meyaard-Schaap.jpg\" style=\"width: 350px; height: 197px; float: left;\" />Arriving from 16 US states, three Canadian provinces, and the country of Costa Rica, representatives first heard from Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, National Spokesperson for Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA), an organization dedicated to leadership development in college students designated as &ldquo;Climate Fellows&rdquo; who work with YECA to stimulate social and political action on climate change. After Kyle, representatives enjoyed the presentation of Dr. Camellia Okpodu of Norfolk State University, an expert on working with underprepared students, a group that makes up an increasing number of individuals on most college campuses today. Au Sable&rsquo;s Executive Director, Dr. Fred Van Dyke, also contributed by helping representatives both define and identify leadership qualities in students based on his successful program of student leadership development in creation care in his previous position at Wheaton College (Illinois). Breakout discussion sections that followed each presentation were as vigorous and informative as the presentations themselves. As Faculty Representative Dr. Rob Keys, from Cornerstone University, Michigan, noted, &ldquo;The Au Sable Academic Council is a great time to recharge, reflect and share ideas with others who are passionate about Creation Care. The opportunity to build skills in the leadership development of our students was enlightening and timely.&rdquo; Representative Dr. Mike Mooring, from Point Loma Nazarene University (California), who had made one of the longest trips of any representative to attend, explained the reason he always looks forward to the annual Council. &ldquo;Every year I leave the Au Sable AAC meeting excited, encouraged, and renewed in the ongoing task of bringing a creation care perspective into our Environmental Science program. Fred is always very intentional about integrating a practical professional development workshop into the meeting to equip us holistically to improve our institutional programs. Furthermore, there is no better way to be encouraged than to gather and break bread with my colleagues from across the country who teach at similar institutions under similar constraints, sharing our successes and challenges and trust in Jesus. What a great weekend!&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/AAC_Okpodu-min.jpg\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 147px;\" /></p>\n<p>\n	To appreciate Au Sable&rsquo;s field-intensive, place-based approach to learning, representatives spent time in the field seeing sites used in Au Sable&rsquo;s ongoing undergraduate research program involving reforestation of oil pads, restoration of an extirpated fish formerly native to Michigan, the Arctic grayling, and habitat enhancement for Michigan&rsquo;s rarest bird, the Kirtland&rsquo;s warbler. But days at the Council are not only about teaching, discussion, and presentation. They are about community, as Faculty Representatives enjoy relationships established in past years with other representatives, and form new ones. As Dr. Edward Berkelaar, Faculty Representative of Redeemer University College (Ontario) explained, &quot;I really enjoy connecting with fellow representatives from other places &ndash; some new and some whom I&rsquo;ve gotten to know in previous years. It is so valuable to meet folks with a shared mission so we can compare notes and strategies to improve our own programs and students&rsquo; experiences in our home institutions. I leave these annual meetings energized to continue the work I am called to do.&rdquo;</p>\n<p>\n	This year&rsquo;s Council is over, but its work and relationships will lay the foundation for students from throughout North America to attend Au Sable in 2018. Thanks to Au Sable&rsquo;s Faculty Representatives, students on every campus will learn what Au Sable has to offer them as they pursue their own studies in caring for God&rsquo;s good creation.</p>\n\";s:11:\"field_id_27\";s:11:\"{filedir_1}\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:4:\"1121\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:4:\"1121\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:75:\"record_representation_faculty_reps_gather_for_academic_council_on_developin\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:2:\"28\";}'),(31103,157,1,1,2,0,0,'207.242.239.194','Land Resources Analyst Certificate','land_resources_analyst_certificate','open','y',0,0,0,0,'y','n',1304411914,'n','2011','05','03',0,0,20170906115235,0,0,'a:9:{s:10:\"channel_id\";s:1:\"1\";s:10:\"field_ft_1\";s:4:\"none\";s:10:\"field_id_1\";s:2981:\"<h1>\n	Land Resources Analyst Certificate</h1>\n<p>\n	The purpose of the Land Resources Analyst Certificate is to certify students as having proficiency in occupational skills in land resources interpretation, assessment, inventory, and management- skills required for planning, resource management, and related positions with employers such as township and county planning agencies, county zoning offices, departments of natural resources, private planning and engineering firms, and firms engaged in landscape architecture.</p>\n<h2>\n	Course Requirement</h2>\n<ol>\n	<li>\n		One course in land resources, land stewardship ecology, or town and country planning, with a minimum of 90 contact hours.&#8232;&#8232;</li>\n	<li>\n		One of the following: 301, 303, 304, 310, 343, 362, 367, 482 with a minimum of 90 contact hours.&#8232;&#8232;</li>\n	<li>\n		One course from the following, with a minimum of 90 contact hours: Physical geography, soils, hydrology, general geology, field geology, geomorphology, environmental geology.&#8232;&#8232;</li>\n	<li>\n		One course in ecology, ecological agriculture, or development and ecological sustainability with a minimum of 90 contact hours.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>\n	Occupational Techniques Requirement&#8232;</h2>\n<p>\n	This requirement is met through course work and proficiency tests administered by the faculty of the Institute.</p>\n<ol>\n	<li>\n		<em>Remote Sensing and Photographic Interpretation Techniques, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Geographical Positioning Systems (GPS)</em> &#8232;<br />\n		Must demonstrate proficiency in managing geographic information systems and ability to use satellite and aircraft imagery in interpreting and mapping land forms, vegetation types, and urban development.&#8232;&#8232;</li>\n	<li>\n		<em>Field Techniques&#8232;</em><br />\n		Must demonstrate proficiency in use of topographic maps, aerial imagery, and geographical positioning systems (GPS) for orientation and other purposes under field conditions.

serve local environmental agencies and organizations with informed data, and prepare students as scientists by involving them in laboratory and field research. By partnering with local non-governmental organizations and government agencies, Au Sable advances scientific understanding using foundational and cutting-edge modes of inquiry and helps decision-makers make informed plans to advance environmental stewardship.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>\n	Teaching Research Skills</h2>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/AS_Day1_LowRes-070-300pxl.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 133px; float: right;\" />At the heart of Au Sable&#39;s research program is the desire to train future scientists to discover new things about the natural world and how we can best care for it. Research faculty mentor and guide our research students throughout their summer research, instilling knowledge and skills about how research is done. The research program enhances student skills in scientific methodology; research design, data gathering and analysis; and in both written and oral presentations. Students work with Au Sable faculty to design and execute their research plan, making them part of an academic community offering scientific collaboration and interdependence among professional scientists and research students.</p>\n<h2>\n	Advancing Scientific Knowledge</h2>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/AS_Day3_LowRes-041-300pxl.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 133px; float: right;\" />The Au Sable Research Program takes up projects that further our scientific understanding of ecology, conservation, and ecological restoration. In recent years, Au Sable Researchers have advanced our scientific understanding of how to best reforest abandoned oil pads in northern Michigans forests, and understand why they do not reforest naturally. Au Sable Researchers have been studying the nesting habits of the Kirtland&#39;s warbler an endangered species in Michigan and habitat specialist to Jack Pine forests. As well, an Au Sable Research team has begun studying the habitat suitability for the reintroduction of the Grayling in local rivers of northern&nbsp;Michigan.</p>\n<h2>\n	Serving Local Communities</h2>\n<p>\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://ausable.org/images/uploads/general/AS_Day2_LowRes-038.jpg\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 133px; float: right;\" />Au Sable&#39;s research advances scientific knowledge while also informing local environmental projects by non-government organizations and government agencies throughout northwest lower Michigan. In recent years, Au Sable&#39;s applied research has served and partnered with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Quality, Michigan Technical University, Trout Unlimited, and the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. &nbsp;Au Sable looks for local partners to have a local impact.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n	For students with little or no research experience, the Summer Undergraduate Preparation in Environmental Research (SUPER) program offers a comprehensive 13-week schedule that includes 16 college credits of field coursework at the Au Sable Great Lakes campus, guided research instruction culminating in an independent&nbsp;research project focused on a biodiversity survey of a taxonomic group in the habitats near Au Sable, which includes lakes, ponds, bogs, hardwood and pine forests. Successful completion also prepares students for the Au Sable Certified Naturalist - Field Naturalist Certification. The SUPER program is designed to prepare sophomore or junior students for upper-level requirements in environmental research programs such as the Au Sable Undergraduate Research Program or the National Science Foundation&#39;s Research Experiences for Undergraduates.</p>\n<p>\n	&nbsp;</p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 600px;\">\n</table>\n\";s:8:\"entry_id\";s:3:\"530\";s:17:\"original_entry_id\";s:3:\"530\";s:20:\"structure__parent_id\";s:1:\"0\";s:14:\"structure__uri\";s:8:\"research\";s:22:\"structure__template_id\";s:1:\"1\";s:26:\"structure__listing_channel\";s:1:\"0\";}');
