These last few weeks have been jam packed with finishing my research and learning new skills!
This summer has been so much fun and incredible!! I’ve learned so much from my time here and have experienced so much that has prepared me for future job opportunities in the conservation field that I can’t thank BCCDKY enough for giving me this opportunity to do.
My research was a camera trap survey of mammals in a riparian zone along gunpowder creek on the Earl and Hazel Jones Center for Conservation property. It was interesting to not only see what mammals are in the riparian zone but what their behaviors were without the presence of humans. Plus, this data that I have collected will be used by BCCDKY for land and wildlife management purposes for the property and for use in future educational programs for the public. This was so rewarding to do and I’m very excited to present this at the Thomas More Field Station to share on a poster.
