Finally ready to admit that the lab isn't really a bird lab as much as a bird habitat creating land stewardship organization. I still want to do bird work but these invasive plants need someone to control them ... So I combined all the things into my new lab logo.

Peep my bad digital drawing of multiflora rose (left) and serviceberry (right). No AI, just low level digital art skills 😂

It's the final year of our Blind Brook rapid response invasive species grant and we are asking everyone to be really careful and stay on the trail now. We have so many young plantings trying to survive in this plot and we want to give them the best start that we can!

The goats have gone but the work remains. Now we start planning our forest planting plots and keep working on stopping these invasives.

Caution trees in captivity!

We are feeling pretty good about our method of buying cheap bare root trees and then growing them in captivity for a year. This group will get a year more growing time free of deer browsing and will be planted this fall with as much deer protection as we can provide.

Meet Ryan! Ryan joined the crew after already having experience working at a local land trust doing stewardship work. So he already knows all of the agony and thorns of invasive species management and came back for more! Happy to have him on the crew this year.

Meet Willow! Willow is an environmental studies major with a strong interest in marine conservation. Let's hope this terrestrial summer can convince her that life on land is where all the fun is!

Meet summer technician Angela! Angela is an environmental studies major who is our resident tree expert (although everyone else is learning fast). I'm very excited to have Angela on this project for the summer and she is continuing to work with me next year on her senior project looking at Spotted Lantern fly abundances in different forest compositions. Stay tuned for more updates on that project!

Our summer got off to such a fast start that I haven't yet introduced all of the new technicians working on this project. So it's time to meet the technicians in their natural habitat!

Meet Christina! Rocking her field work assignment of measuring trees and cutting invasives and making it look easy. Christina is a biology major who took Conservation Biology with me this past semester and I'm so happy she is on the crew!
