  • INDY GREENWAYS the Indy Greenways Patch Is a Local Patch Program That Teaches Central Indiana Girl Scouts About the Indy Greenways System
    INDY GREENWAYS The Indy Greenways patch is a local patch program that teaches central Indiana Girl Scouts about the Indy Greenways system. The intent of the program is to raise awareness and educate young kids on the design, function, and proper use of the Indy Greenways and to demonstrate the important role that the greenways play in connecting local communities. It is also intended to instill a level of ownership, responsibility, and stewardship for the greenway system. The patch program aims to achieve the following objectives: Raise awareness of the Indy Greenways system, what it is, and how it is used. Provide a basic understanding of Indy Greenways and how to use the trails. Provide a basic understand of how trails and greenways benefit communities. Instill a responsibility for the ongoing stewardship of the greenways system. Instill a general interest on how the greenways can be a part of Girl Scouts’ everyday lives. Getting Started This program has been developed to accommodate multiple age levels of girl scout troops, with specific focus on the following grade levels: • Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies and Juniors - grades K-5. • Girl Scout Cadettes- grades 6-8. Troop leaders should modify the program as needed to accommodate specific troop age and grade levels. Program Overview The program includes three basic elements that must be completed in order to achieve the Indy Greenways patch: Learn Indy Greenways (Educational Component) - a troop- facilitated educational session that introduces Indy Greenways, its purpose, and other important facts about the greenways and their use. The educational component includes research and discussion that can be led by volunteer troop leaders and can be completed within an one-hour working session (troop meeting).

  • Fort Benjamin Harrison: from Military Base to Indiana State
    FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON: FROM MILITARY BASE TO INDIANA STATE PARK Melanie Barbara Hankins Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University April 2020 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Rebecca K. Shrum, Ph.D. ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements During my second semester at IUPUI, I decided to escape the city for the day and explore the state park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. I knew very little about the park’s history and that it was vaguely connected to the American military. I would visit Fort Harrison State Park many times the following summer, taking hikes with my dog Louie while contemplating the potential public history projects at Fort Harrison State Park. Despite a false start with a previous thesis topic, my hikes at Fort Harrison State Park inspired me to take a closer look at the park’s history, which eventually became this project. Finishing this thesis would have been nearly impossible without the encouragement and dedication of many people. First, I need to thank my committee: Dr. Philip Scarpino, Dr. Rebecca Shrum, and Dr. Anita Morgan for their criticism, support, and dedication throughout my writing process. I would especially like to thank my chair, Dr. Scarpino for his guidance through the transition of changing my thesis topic so late in the game.

  • Task 4/6 Report: Programming & Destinations
    Tasks Four/Six: Destinations and Programming In these tasks, the team developed an understanding for destinations, events, programming, and gathering places along the White River. The team evaluated existing and potential destinations in both Hamilton and Marion Counties, and recommended new catalyst sites and destinations along the River. The following pages detail our process and understanding of important destinations for enhanced or new protection, preservation, programming and activation for the river.

Working together with the client team and the public, the vision plan identified twenty-seven opportunity sites for preservation, activation, enhancements, or protection. The sites identified on the map at right include existing catalysts, places that exist but could be enhanced, and opportunities for future catalysts. All of these are places along the river where a variety of experiences can be created or expanded. This long list of destinations or opportunity sites is organized by the five discovery themes. Certain locations showed clear overlap among multiple themes and enabled the plan to filter through the long list to identify seven final sites to explore as plan ‘focus areas’ or ‘anchors’.

It is acknowledged that this is a long-term strategy, and as such this T chapter outlines key steps in the ongoing process. This section is divided into three parts: 1. System Build Out – This section provides an overview of the prioritization of the various segments’ ultimate build-out. It describes a methodology for how the various segments were divided into short, medium and long-term design, engineering and construction priorities. There is a recognition that circumstances may arise that would modify this prioritization (such as land availability or funding opportunities), but this should be used as a general guide in the ongoing growth of the greenway system. 2. Policy & Administrative Recommendations – This section outlines several plan recommen- dations not specifi cally related to design and construction activities. These include such items as administrative function, maintenance and coordination of city regulatory tools. 3. Action Plan – This section summarizes the overall plan recommendations and highlights the key implementing agencies, partners, funding sources, action type, timeline and supporting plan goals Implementation of any project as complex as the Indy Greenways requires involvement from dozens of public, private and other support organizations.
