This week’s blog was written by Carter W., a Brookies Alumni! He gives us some interesting information about the American Bullfrog, and the havoc they can wreak on ecosystems they come to inhabit.
This weeks blog post is by Devin Gearheart, a Bucktails alumni! He writes about his time volunteering for the Crayfish Corps, and how volunteers are curbing this invasive species reach.
This guest post is written by Peter L., an Ursids, Drummers, and Gobblers alumni, who is writing a special 4-part series, detailing his journey towards applying for the William T. Hornaday Silver Medal Award, through the Boy Scouts. As part of earning this award, scouts must “plan, lead, and carry out four significant projects in natural resource conservation or environmental improvements,” and Peter has written a blog post for each of his projects.
Eli, entering his second year as a Monthly Blog Correspondent, is a Brookies and Ursids alumni. He shares his thoughts on the prevalence of invasive species…as well as a practical application of the adage “If you can’t beat ’em…eat ’em!”
