Outreach Projects

Co-leader for Project NestWatch with Laramie Girl Scouts at Hutton NWR, summer 2017. In conjunction with Laramie Audubon Society and the Biodiversity Institute. We checked nest boxes regularly throughout the spring and summer, collected data, and learned about Tree Swallows. The girls concluded the project with skits explaining the Tree Swallow life cycle and causes of adult mortality!
