Our main contact for
internships in the area
around Barrington,
Illinois, is the
Barrington Area
Council of
Governments (BACOG).
Joy Hoeffler (right), the
GIS specialist for
BACOG, helped us place
intern Tom Pink (next
to Joy) with Greg
Summers (left) and the
Village of Barrington.
Between Greg and Tom
posed one of the
decorated horses that
participated of a fundraising
endeavor by the
local United Way.
State Farm Insurance goes
through a lot of three‐ring
binders at its Bloomington
headquarters and other local
sites. Intern Walter Allen, part of
State Farm’s environmental
program in the summer of 2009,
had an idea about making the
binders available for giveaways
to school kids, which would also
mean keeping the binders out of
the landfill.
Midewin National Tallgrass
Prairie, part of the U.S.
Forest Service, occupies
land once dedicated to the
manufacture of ordnance
for the U.S. Army, along old
Route 66, north of
Wilmington, Illinois. Intern
Zack Hudak performed
many outdoor duties over
the summer, but one of his
favorites was operating the
skid steer to move mulch,
gravel, and soil.
