When
Saturday, October 12th, 2024 from 9:00am to 11:00am
Address
140 City Park Road, Boerne, TX 78006
Shift Details
Community scientists will check the Sherman traps (set the night before) for small mammals. Captured mammals are documented and a small clipping of hair is removed from the animal to mark that it has been captured. The animal is then released unharmed and Sherman trap collected. This survey enables researchers to monitor the diversity and health of the small mammal population.
Requirements: Must be able to walk unaided on uneven terrain. You will be walking through the prairie and along the creek so appropriate attire is highly recommended (e.g. closed toed shoes/long pants/boots). Potential for insect bites and stings to occur, so must NOT be highly allergic to such bites/stings.
