Where Sustainability Meets Conservation

Novaparke Innovation & Technology Campus will present a nature presentation in partnership with the Sam Shine Foundation this January as part of Novaparke’s “STEM Saturdays” series. On Saturday, January 11, Sam Shine Foundation Executive Director CJ Jackson will discuss “Where Sustainability Meets Conservation,” including energy systems, development, and landscape-level conservation, and steps everyone can take to move toward sustainability. The session will take place from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. at Novaparke (111 Innovation Parkway, Georgetown, IN). This event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested.

CJ Jackson was introduced to Sam Shine and his Foundation in 2000. Since then, he has been working with the Foundation to ensure Sam & Betty Shine’s landscape-level conservation impact continues in perpetuity. CJ has also taught middle school, high school, and college, and appreciates being able to continue informally teaching others through the Sam Shine Foundation’s programs in an effort to improve the land ethic of a larger citizenry while being a steward of Creation.

The Sam Shine Foundation engages in long term conservation preservation efforts to better and protect the world we inhabit, with a focus on restoring natural ecosystems through maintaining and enhancing native wildlife habitats that are associated with unique lands and waters.

Novaparke Innovation & Technology Campus is designed to create a diverse economic ecosystem where research, innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurialism collaborate; where innovative developments in the fields of advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, life science and space development are fostered through a concentrated effort.
