The Michigan State University Extension Land & Water Program serves the citizens of Michigan through research-based extension education and information. Topics include cover cropping, organic and bioenergy farming systems, and water resource conservation and protection including streams, lakes, rivers, wetlands and groundwater resources. The Land & Water Program is located at MSU's W.K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) in Hickory Corners, Mich.

Jane Herbert joined the Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) Land & Water Program in 1996 and serves 17 Southwest Michigan counties. Her extension programming is focused on nonpoint source pollution prevention, water quality monitoring and lake-friendly management of sensitive shoreline areas. Some of her programs and projects include the KBS Shoreline Management Demonstration Area, the Michigan Watershed Management Short Course, Introduction to Lakes and Introduction to Volunteer Stream Monitoring.

Simon Robison is a student at Michigan State University. He participated in the fall 2006 Residential Opportunities at the Kellogg Biological Station (ROKS) program at KBS and then served as a summer intern under Jane Herbert in 2007. Simon's career interests are directed toward ecological landscape design. His ROKS project involved the development of a shoreline assessment tool for lakefront property owners.  Partial support for Simon's internship was provided by the Gull Lake Quality Organization.
