The Team's previous undercrossing at Kyburz Flat has been a great success, providing research opportunities, public engagement, and helping mitigate our local portion of the $8-billion annual cost of animal-vehicle collisions.

Jeff presents to OBFS

Last week, we attended the annual meeting of the Organization of Biological Field Stations held in Bodega Bay, CA where our A.R.C. Program received the Human Diversity award.

Here's a video of Jeff's presentation to the attendees on the topic of "Adapting to a Changing Mission". It explains the overarching philosophy of decision-making at Sagehen since our arrival 10 years ago.
