Richmond Hill, Ga., resident Jenifer Hilburn from Miami University's Project Dragonfly has published an original article titled "Altamaha Riverkeeper Fights for Efficient Wastewater Treatment" in Southern Tides Magazine, a monthly publication covering the lowcountry coastal waters and estuaries from Beaufort County, South Carolina, to Camden County, Georgia.

In the article Hilburn writes a letter to the editor calling for tighter wastewater permits to reduce pollution on the Altamaha River.

Hilburn, executive director of Altamaha Riverkeeper, is a graduate of Miami University through Project Dragonfly's Global Field Program (GFP). As a student in the GFP, Hilburn traveled to Baja, Australia and Thailand, while also conducting projects that have made a difference in the Richmond Hill area.

The GFP master's degree and Earth Expeditions courses are designed for educators and other professionals from all disciplines and settings interested in making a difference in human and ecological communities. Applicants can be from anywhere in the United States or abroad.
