Conservation Hackathon 2018

Jennings Environmental Education Center is one of several state parks specifically dedicated to providing environmental education and interpretation to the community.  Jennings has a unique combination of prairie and forest, which offers a wide array of resource and education opportunities.  One of the park’s main features, the 20-acre prairie ecosystem, is home to distinctive prairie plants and the endangered massasauga rattlesnake.  A series of ponds and wetlands that passively treats abandoned mine drainage provides yet another unique educational opportunity to study water quality, industry, and wetlands.
