  • 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.

  • Lights out Indy: Continuing to Move Forward by Austin Broadwater, Lights out Indy Chair
    AUDUBON LIFELINES SEPT/OCT 2019 A PUBLICATION OF AMOS BUTLER AUDUBON SOCIETY A CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY Issue #1 Amy Hodson • Have an idea for a story? Send an email to [email protected] Lights Out Indy: Continuing to Move Forward By Austin Broadwater, Lights Out Indy Chair all migration is just around the corner. Over the next few months, countless birds will be making their nocturnal voyages Facross the country, continent, and even further, to their winter homes. With so many obstacles along the way, our duty as nature lovers is to make that path the least treacherous as possible. ABAS is doing its best to make that a reality. The Lights Out Indy initiative is starting to gain more traction since it started doing bi-annual surveys. With our team of seven volunteers, we were able to collect 62 birds among 36 species in the metropolitan area during this past spring. This included such favorites as the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Scarlet Tanagers, Indigo Buntings, a Baltimore Oriole, Yellow-billed Cuckoos, and various warblers, thrushes and sparrows. Even a Virginia Rail, Sora, Sharp-shinned Hawk, and several American Woodcocks were sampled. The concrete jungles scattered across the United States result in countless bird fatalities every year. Fortunately, eight of the recovered birds were alive when they were found. They were transported to rehab centers, and hopefully recovered from their collisions. The other specimens were transported to the Eagle Creek Park Ornithology Center for future education and research. Two collection routes were traveled 17 times from April 1 through May 31 with volunteers focusing their attention on the major glass-paneled buildings of downtown Indianapolis.
