Through this blog, we have explored the various and unique research and field work projects that NCF’s Science and Stewardship Department is involved in. It would be impossible for us to complete all of this work without the assistance of our wonderful Seasonal Field Crew.
Each Field Season we hire 3-4 people to support our work in the field, assisting with data collection on rare plant locations, monitoring shorebird populations along our beaches, documenting plant diversity, tracking spotted turtles and many many more projects.
