Eisenhower Institute students conduct environmental policy research for the Loxahatchee River Restoration Project in Palm Beach County, Florida

During a discussion about the Loxahatchee River Restoration Project at their April 30 workshop, the Board of Commissioners for Palm Beach County, Florida, referenced a report prepared by Gettysburg College students in the Eisenhower Institute's Environmental Leadership program.

Over the course of the year, these 10 students have worked closely with Dr. Howard Ernst, Seiden-Levi Fellow at the Eisenhower Institute, to explore water policy in the United States. After spending the fall semester learning about the policy process and relevant environmental concerns, they traveled to South Florida to conduct field research on restoration plans for the Loxahatchee River.
