South River Greenway Volunteer Opportunity:
Bee Survey
Here's the Buzz... Help scientists learn more about the critters living in our backyards!
As part of a project to restore habitat underneath BGE power lines in the South River Greenway, US Geological Survey (USGS) is leading a survey of bees beginning in March 2010 and running through October 2010. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and SRLT are working with USGS to coordinate volunteers for this survey.
Volunteers are asked to commit 4-5 hours in the field placing bee bowls (traps) and collecting the bees (dead). The survey will lead to the scientific understanding of our native bees and will help BGE understand the importance of their rights-of-way to our native bees.
No prior experience is necessary.
To sign up, contact Alyssa Domzal, Scenic Rivers Land Trust at 410-424-4000,
Alyssa@srlt.org or Rich Mason, US Fish and Wildlife Service at 410-573-4584, rich_mason@fws.gov
