This project is for Bio 4700 - Interdisciplinary Applications of Biology. My proposal for this page would be to add a section on the programs and services of the NRCS. I would also like to expand this page into separate sections that give more specified detail on certain subjects such as soils, water, air, plants, animals, etc... Also I think maybe a careers section on this page would serve well to give information on scholarship programs and employment opportunities. I am sure as I think more about this page there will be more that I would like to do and I will try to keep those ideas updated here.Jjohns18 (talk) 20:10, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
I did a little formatting on the stuff you added, I hope thats ok.Here is my plan: There is a good history of when why the NRCS was founded, as well as its general purpose and goals. I would like to add more sections.
- Programs & Services: specific tasks that the organization handles. They do work with land/soil use, water, and air quality. Each of these aspects may have their own section depending on how much info there is for each one.
- They also seem to be active in promoting energy saving and conservation tips, so I may link to those areas of Wikipedia if it is applicable.
- I may try to see what similar organizations exist in other countries and add a section of links to those pages on Wikipedia (if there are any).
- There is a list of “see also” links at the bottom of the page that do not have very much context within the article, so I will try to incorporate information on the NRCS involvement in relation to those other articles; for example, for the link out “Dust bowl”, I would like to add some info on what the organizations role was in relation to the dust bowl, and so on.
- The only graphic on the page is the logo for the department. I will try to find some relevant pictures for the organization or work they have done.
It looks like some of our topics are overlapping so hopefully we can try not to step on each others toes.

I accidentally did a little editing while not signed in. I did the "Conservation Technical Assistance Program" paragraph Crussoma (talk) 16:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
I added sections on careers and scholarship information. I plan to finish up on that section with internship opportunities shortly. Jjohns18 (talk) 16:13, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
