New resources available on the updated website!
The GLBRC website has a new look!  Our educational materials are easier to find and easier to browse.  Take a peek at the new format, click on one of the images, and let us know what you think!

Field Investigations:  Bug Biodiversity and Ecosystem Benefits  Student field investigations to explore the effects of biofuel crop production on invertebrate diversity and the effects those organisms have on pollination rates and weed seed predation.  Teachers can choose from a suite of six field-sampling methods for investigations of school-yard biofuel plots, agricultural fields or existing natural communities.

Looking for images?  Check out the new image gallery from the Kellogg Biological Station LTER site.  They have a range of photographs of field sites, farmscapes, crops, equipment and more.

Spotlight on:  GK-12 Bioenergy Sustainability Project.  Our partners in the Environmental Literacy Project at the Kellogg Biological Station, near Kalamazoo, MI, just received a major grant to provide education and support to graduate students and local teachers for five years.  Read more!
