(Not) Counting Trees

PIE (People, Institutions, and Ecosystems) is a group of faculty and students largely based on the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology. We meet bi-weekly to discuss our respective projects that focus on, not surprisingly, people, institutions and natural ecosystems.

Earlier this week, we took an end-of-semester field trip to the Kickapoo Valley. During our trip, we visited the Kickapoo Valley Reserve Center (where a dam never made it), Organic Valley (a marketing cooperative), and the Kickapoo Woods Cooperative.
