I love doing field work. It is one of my favourite parts of the job. I love training students in the field.... But the admin burden is exhausting. I reflect in a School of Environment, Resources & Sustainability blog. Field work. Is it worth it? tinyurl.com/24as58e4

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the first screening of "Butterflies at the brink: the story of the mottled duskywing". It was an incredible night! #teambutterfly #speciesatrisk

The destructive fires could have grave consequences for wildlife, including the burning of "best of the best" habitat for the already imperiled sage grouse. But biologists see possible benefits for other wildlife. wyofile.com/wildfires-blac…

Four fires in the region totalling almost 1/2 million acres. We haven't managed to get access to the fire polygons yet, but squinting at the maps available (and my time in the field last week) suggest much of it was prime sagebrush habitat.
