Description
This report was developed by students in SPH-O305: Integrated Resource Management at Indiana University in collaboration with Avoca State Fish Hatchery through the 2017–2018 Sustaining Hoosier Communities initiative. The project served as a hands-on learning experience in which students applied interdisciplinary approaches to assess the ecological, cultural, and recreational value of the hatchery site. The report includes water and forest resource inventories, stakeholder surveys, and a comprehensive management plan proposing the transformation of the hatchery into a public green space and environmental education center. Recommendations address sustainability, community engagement, infrastructure improvements, and long-term stewardship strategies to preserve the site’s natural and historical significance.
This project was completed as a collaboration between the students in SPH-O305: Integrated Resource Management and Avoca State Fish Hatchery as part of the 2017–2018 Indiana University Sustaining Hoosier Communities (IUSHC) initiative.
