“I am so proud of the students who worked with me on this research and restoration ecology class project.” -- Michelle Stevens, Environmental Sciences professor
萨克拉门托 County Parks and Recreation is 囊状态’s partner on the project, which has received significant funding from the California Wildlife Conservation Board.
For most of eight years, Stevens and her students have focused on the area in an effort to help save northwestern pond turtles, which are a “species of special concern” in California. 项目工作包括监测海龟的活动,照料对加州原住民具有重要文化意义的植物,浇水,拔除入侵杂草,清理垃圾,以及记录该地区的野生动物。
布什湖是各种动物的家园,包括水獭、海狸、土狼、山猫和几种鸟类。
In June 2021, 一场野火席卷了这个地区, reducing to ashes years of work led by Stevens. 从那以后,她和她的团队一直在清理被烧毁的地区,重新种植原生植被。
Speakers at Saturday’s event will include 囊状态 President Robert S. Nelsen; 社会科学与跨学科研究学院院长黛安·海森; 县和州代表; 以及布什湖地区的生态学专家。
“I am so proud of the students who worked with me on this research and restoration ecology class project,” Stevens said. “We call ourselves the Awanata Dream Team.” Awanata是米乌克语中乌龟的意思。
她说,即使在COVID-19大流行期间,史蒂文斯和她的学生也在合作研究。 Participating students will discuss their work at Saturday’s event.
“I feel like the luckiest professor at 囊状态,” Stevens said.
