Steven Campbell, Conservation Biologist
Hi! I'm Steve.
As the Conservation Biologist, I am primarily responsible for designing studies to understand the effects of management on the preserve’s plant and animal communities, managing and analyzing the data collected, and documenting the results as reports and peer-reviewed scientific papers. I also help with the fieldwork of many of our ongoing bird studies (e.g., point counts and bird banding).
The videos in each section below are about our Karner blue recovery efforts research. At the end you will see a poster with all of this information. We use the poster as a succinct, visual way to represent the work.
