EES Student Activities
Past EES Projects and activities
The Oasis project
A stream reconnaissance and restoration project that went into oblivion
after losing hope of funding. We did get some fun experience in doing
stream reconnaissance, surveying, soil sampling, and design practice.
Earth day
We designed an educational display on ecological footprints for the OSU Earth Day celebration.
Not many people showed up, but who cares, we got to sit outside and enjoy the
wonderful spring weather.
Tour of Franklin Park Conservatory
Our group got a "behind the scenes" tour of the
Franklin Park
Conservatory, a place that houses unique plant collections in four
greenhouse climate zones. Afterwards, we enjoyed seeing the annual
butterfly exhibit.
AEES conference in Maryland
The American Ecological Engineering Society's annual conferences is an event to
not miss. Aside from a plethora of fascinating presentations and seminars,
the conference boasts some wild, after-hours fun.
Wetland planting at the ORW
As a service to the community and stewardship towards the environment, we helped
with the leadership and labor of a community planting effort at the newly build
wetland facilities at the Olentangy River Wetlands (ORW).
Wetland plant identification group
study
Some of us spent part of the summer of 2003 learning how to identify aquatic
plants
AEES Conference at The Ohio
State University
The American Ecological Engineering Society's held its 2005 annual conference on
the campus of OSU.
Storm Drain Marking
around the OSU campus
The OSU chapter of Ecological Engineering teamed up with
SECOR International Incorporated to conduct a
campus wide storm drain marking adventure. The process brought us closer
as a group, maybe it was from the fumes of the glue.
Dr. Jay Martin's infamous Mardi Gras party
The pictures speak for themselves. Let's say that this is one great party with a fair mix of student and faculty having a great time.
Future or Scheduled Activities
Bioswale Project at
the ORW
The OSU chapter of Ecological Engineering has teamed up with Dr. William Mitsch
to design a bioswale on the grounds of the Olentangy River Wetland complex.
The bioswale will hopefully function to treat runoff from the parking lot before
water reaches the wetlands and ultimately the river. The project has been
created into a 10 week class where certain members of the group will receive 1
credit hour of work for their participation in the project. Thanks Dr.
Mitsch.
