Amanda Dillon, Field Ecologist and Entomologist
Hi! I'm Dillon.
As the Field Ecologist and Entomologist, I am responsible for implementing our many research projects and for hiring and managing our seasonal science staff. When there isn’t snow on the ground, I’ll be out with the science team counting Karner blues, sampling vegetation, helping out with prescribed burns or banding birds. In the winter, I’m at my desk processing data and writing up reports or at my microscope identifying insect specimens. I also manage our Science Lecture Series and Community Science programs that engage our neighbors in the science taking place in the preserve.
The videos in each section below are about our wildlife camera trapping 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.
