Your Money At Work
Our 2013 - 2014 grant to EarthCorps' Forest Monitoring Project supported the program coordinator to recruit and train volunteers, both in the classroom and in the field, and to provide data quality control, data analysis and communication with volunteers and project partners.
Key accomplishments of the Forest Monitoring Team project:
- implemented 25 new monitoring sites
- strengthened relationships with many of our existing volunteers
- increased their field skills and knowledge of ecology
- raised volunteers up to a mentorship role and connected them with local Forest Stewards
Check out the interactive habitat map on EarthCorp's website. It provides information about the locations of parks and public lands in Seattle (over 8,000 acres!), the habitat types found on those lands and plants growing in each habitat.
