Spotlight: About the Center
Mission, Values and Programs
The Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway seeks to understand, to demonstrate, and to promote excellence in natural resource management and conservation on the landscape of the southeastern coastal plain of the United States.
Spotlight: Conservation Programs
The Conservation program focuses on stewardship of the Ichauway landbase, serves as a technical information resource for the Center, and is an example of wise resource management in the region. The Conservation staff includes land managers, biologists, forestry, wildlife, and agricultural specialists, foremen, workmen and technicians. In addition, a conservation management internship program was recently implemented, in conjunction with the education program, to provide an apprenticeship opportunity for individuals early in their careers to gain practical, hands-on land management experience.
