Not to worry. The Michigan City buoy is receiving first-class care and attention while it spends the off-season in a warehouse at Purdue. PhD candidate, David Cannon, pictured, is cleaning, charging, and repairing the buoy, readying it for its spring launch.
On November 2nd, a group of 9 Illinois and Indiana educators joined IISG and @Openlands to explore the incredible history of enslaved people`s use of the Great Lakes and environmental science in their quest for freedom. These educators received curriculum resources related to local areas of IL and participated in a field trip to the African American Heritage Water Trail and the Ton Farm, the former safe house site which is now the home of Chicago`s Finest Marina.
