The profiles highlight the unique environmental characteristics of each county along the more than 3,200-mile relay route, and were produced by the students under the direction of Professor John W. Sutherland, Professor and Fehsenfeld Family Head of Environmental and Ecological Engineering. Purdue student team members included Taisha Venort, Jacob Widner, and Monique Long.

 

The team anticipates increasing environmental awareness among all Indiana residents by making the profiles available to educators, community and business leaders, and the general public throughout the state.

 

The Indiana county profiles can be download individually or as a compressed file containing all 92 environmental assessments. The profiles offer information for each county in two-page packets that include details on conservation efforts, clean energy initiatives, endangered species, and local environmental challenges.
