Monitoring Biological Responses to restoration: temporal and spatial shifts in the community structure of amphibians and reptiles in restored and retired cranberry bogs.

Future directions

One of the best parts of doing ecological work is the wildlife. While we have spent 1 week at each of our research sites and collected a lot of useful data. We have also collected a lot of amazing photos! So while the data is being sorted through and a post is being made about that, I felt the need to share some of the stunning wildlife that can be found in wetland ecosystems.

Dr. Surasinghe's lab at Bridgewater State University have started fieldwork for 2023. This year, we will be covering Tidmarsh, Cranberry Watershed Preserve, and Eel River.
