Research projects include work on the ecology of animals and plants, and also on land management practices. The “staff” is largely comprised of engaged Purdue Fort Wayne faculty and their students, both undergraduate and graduate.
In addition to conducting research, ERC associates actively participate in education and outreach with the community, routinely serve on advisory boards, and give public presentations on a variety of topics.
