Putting Collars On Snowshoe Hare
I have been involved in tagging black bears and putting radio collars on moose but never have I done either on little snowshoe hare. That changed when I was able to join two researchers working on the Nulhegan Basin Division of the Conte National Refuge.
I met up with Brittany McGill from UNH who had been working on the project all summer and Jeremy Fuller a University of Wyoming research assistant who had just arrived in Vermont the day before. We agreed to rendezvou on the Four Mile Road several miles into the refuge in Lewis.
Work Continues To Improve Fish Passage On Conte Refuge
Road maintenance has been ongoing on the 40 miles of roads in the refuge and this season they have been graded and countless small culverts have been replaced as well as the two large ones I visited.
You may remember that last year I wrote about a bridge replacement on the refuge and the work continues to provide safe access to the Conte for the many who visit each year.
