The Stop the Strikes! initiative is a project that aims to decrease and eventually eliminate bird collisions with windows in identified high-strike areas of the Carnegie Vanguard High School campus. This occurs through the installation of vertical window clings on windows on the campus, which help birds see glass and avoid colliding with windows.

The LSUA BioControl Discovery Lab discovers, isolates, and screens native fungi from Louisiana's bayous, wetlands, and agricultural soils to find natural alternatives to chemical fungicides. Louisiana's unique ecosystems are an underexplored reservoir of fungal biodiversity, organisms adapted to our heat, humidity, and fluctuating moisture may be nature's own solution to plant disease control. Working alongside undergraduate students at Louisiana ...

I manage a 2.4 acre organic farm located in Skokie, Illinois. We're an urban farm sandwiched between a preschool and an Amazon distribution center. Our land serves as a haven for not just sustainable food production in our community, but also serves the ecological floral and fauna that need habitat in our urban area. Through a collaboration effort with the University of Illinois Farmer Extension Program, we're setting aside part of our growing space this year to serve ...

Wildlife vehicle collisions are becoming more common in Wyoming. Animals such as elk, deer, and antelope are frequently crossing highways during their season migrations. This can lead to a dangerous collision with vehicles. These accidents can not only pose a threat to human safety but also result in a significant loss in wildlife and economic costs related to vehicle damage and roadway accidents. In certain areas where highway intersect its important wildlife ...

Native bees are vital to Southern California ecosystems but continue to decline due to habitat loss and reduced floral resources, particularly in semi-arid landscapes. This project will enhance native bee habitat on a 5-acre property in Agua Dulce, California through restoration and expansion of native buckwheat ( Eriogonum spp.)–dominated floral resources, complemented by additional regionally appropriate native plants.

Native bee communities will be ...

This study will evaluate the movement and survival of augmented freshwater mussels, one of the most imperiled groups of animals in the world, over one year and test whether very high frequency radio (VHF) tags can track mussel movement in natural rivers. Propagated mussels from state facilities will receive tags and be released in their typical habitat. Researchers will routinely track each mussel using telemetry and visual searches, noting distance moved, ...

Stewarding + Protecting | Restoring + Conserving | Designing + making homes for both ourselves and nature on an island (yes, a literal one) including a watershed and riparian corridor of woodland on 4.8 acres of land in a developed area where a gristmill used to stand. Connecticut- New England.
