Ms. Ann Brummitt, Milwaukee River Greenway Coalition; Dr. Ryan Holifield, UW-Milwaukee Department of Geography

Abstract
The purpose of this project is to enhance an existing service-learning partnership between Geography 125 (Introduction to Environmental Geography) and the Milwaukee River Greenway Coalition, Our primary goal is to provide the partnership with needed technology and technological training and support, which will both strengthen the educational value of the program and develop the capacity of service learners to contribute significantly to Coalition's management of the Greenway, Portable Global Positioning System (GPS) units would be purchased to enable students to gather accurate data on the location of invasive species, watershed boundaries, soft trails, and critical species habitat in the Greenway. We would also be able to hire a qualified student as a tutor in the use of both the GPS unit and ArcGIS (Geographic Information Systems software for mapping and spatial data analysis), The tutor would provide two hours of training to each Geography 125 student performing service with the Coalition and would also be available for consultation and technical support throughout the semester.
