Diversity and Ecology Project

One of the most fascinating ways to begin this project is by exploring life in hidden microhabitats, including underneath spider trees and high in tree-top branches.
More long-term studies can also begin, such as sample plots and species counts.
Imagine what unusual species you might find. Maybe even some new ones.
Most of the tools needed to undertake this project have already been donated. We really only need a tree caliper.

Tree caliper

We seek volunteers to measure and record what we find.
You can volunteer for an hour or a few hours or more.

Estimated Budget: $300

Please make a donation

For a limited time we can match your donation dollar for dollar!
We have a drone with a camera and a USB endoscope, so we can look almost anywhere.
