Service Learning is an important component of undergraduate education in the Department of Geography at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Students enrolled in our introductory physical geography courses have the opportunity to serve in various ongoing environmental projects at local parks and urban watershed areas throughout the city of Indianapolis. Participants contribute to the restoration and conservation of fragile urban ecosystems. Students have also participated in similar projects with the Indiana Nature Conservancy at other locations throughout the state. In the Fall of 2003, 29 students participated in designated work days across central Indiana.
