Registration is now open for the Fall 2020 American Citizen Planner – Indiana program hosted by Purdue Extension and Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant.

The American Citizen Planner – Indiana course is offered twice each year. The course is self-paced, and participants have four months to complete the course requirements and attend two webinars hosted by a Purdue Extension Educator. Webinars offer deep dives into course topics and feature experts discussing current issues that affect community and land use planning in Indiana.

American Citizen Planner - Indiana is an online training tool designed to help those currently, or potentially, serving on an area or advisory plan commission to learn at their own pace. You'll understand the roles and responsibilities of public officials, community residents, and developers in the planning process, as well as tools and processes planners use to implement comprehensive plans.

When participating in a crayfish participatory science activity, be sure to snap plenty of photos of any crayfish you catch or observe. Not only is it a great way to capture the fun and excitement of the day, but it also helps document the species present. To ensure accurate identification by scientists, it’s important to provide clear photos from multiple angles. Dorsal (top), lateral (side), and ventral (underside) views of the crayfish should always be photographed.

Who says “Back to School” means back indoors? While the weather is still warm, take your students on an outdoor science adventure by exploring crayfish in your local waterways.

The Invasive Crayfish Collaborative invites grades 2-12 educators to take part in a hands-on participatory science activity. By catching, identifying, and reporting crayfish species in your area, students contribute valuable data that helps scientists better understand where native and invasive crayfish live.
