Kellogg Land Policy Grant

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science Research and Outreach Services (RS&GIS), Michigan State University, in cooperation with the Kellogg Foundation, is pleased to announce Land Cover / Land Use data update opportunities for local communities.

In the early 1980’s, detailed Land Cover / Land Use data was developed for the entire state of Michigan. Over the past two years, RS&GIS has developed methods to update this data and calculate changes in the landscape. With the assistance of a grant from the Kellogg foundation, RS&GIS is able to offer a cost-share program to update land cover / land use data for 25 Michigan townships. This offer is extended to the first 25 townships to enroll.
