There were 16 of us from all over the state of Kansas. Our main objective was at 3 state lakes. We built shelters, cleared trails and beaches as well as maintenance of the dams (at that time these lakes were man-made specifically for irrigation of crops).

We conducted wildlife counts on the kangaroo rat, the golden eagle and the intrusion of evasive fish. Reestablished the trout and large mouth bass at the local fishery. We were paid a stipend of $30 a week, lived in the university dorm, wore khaki shirts with jeans and boots all military and required hard hats. We also earned 6 hours of college credit.

Sorry for the long answer-thanks for asking.
