March mission - erosion

Mission Erosion:  Erosion is something that affects us all. Through simple runoff that may wash away dirt, to serious landslides that can harm property or even take lives, erosion comes in many forms. While some erosion is 100% natural, such as the water erosion that caused the Grand Canyon to form, other erosion is caused due to things we do in our day-to-day lives. https://www.ejprescott.com/blog/the-importance-of-job-site-erosion-control

Careers

An interview with Julie Weger - Storm Water Engineering Technician with the Town of Normal. Julie assesses all of the construction sites for runoff.  Julie originally went to school to be a chemist, but decided she liked working outside so she changed to civil engineering. If you like numbers and working outside, this may be a career for you!  ​​

There are at least two places in Bloomington/Normal where streambanks were made to help prevent erosion. The first one is in Fairview Park, and the second one is in Anderson Park. Grab a parent and go visit these streambanks that help prevent erosion!
