Odonate Study

Looking to spend a little time outdoors and help your community at the same time? Here at Sheep Pasture we have put together a volunteer program to survey the dragonflies and damselflies (odonates) found on our property. As a volunteer, you will help catch, identify, and release dragonflies and damselflies in identified habitats of Sheep Pasture property. The volunteers will be provided with all of the necessary materials for fieldwork and also a survey sheet to record their finings. If you are interested in helping us with this project please email Stephanie McNamara at smcnamara@nrtofeaston.org.
