Out helping a student with field work all morning. This little gem is ~15 minute walk from my office.
If you’re interested in #ecological #field and #lab research, there’s really nowhere better than the #University of #Northern #BC.

Important new research from #Yellowstone to #Yukon and #UNBC on #recreational trail use in SW #Alberta and SE #BC.
Knowing where trails are is important for #safety and #wildlife #conservation.
The researchers mapped 53436 km (!!!) of trails and other cleared linear features.
Trails - 22040 km
Roads - 20956 km
Cutlines, pipelines, etc. - 10439 km.
~6000 km were previously undocumented!
~29000km were data deficient.

Important #biodiversity and #conservation research from UNBC on #BC’s threatened inland temperate #rainforest.
“The crisis we are predicting in terms of loss of species and collapse of the #ecosystem is probably that much closer. I think we’re still going down the same road with our foot on the gas, a blindfold over our eyes and heading for the cliff.” (Dr. Darwyn Coxson, #UNBC Faculty of #Environment)
