Help Wanted!

If you love Fermilab and our natural areas, and if you would like to help out in a very material and important way, volunteer to help us with our fundraising efforts. The model we want to pursue to raise money for projects is primarily to write grant proposals to fund individual projects that address the three main parts of our mission: restoration, community, and ecology research.

If you have some experience in writing grants or other fundraising, send us an email at fermilabnaturalareas@gmail.com.

Bird Sightings

At yesterday's Ecological Land Management Committee meeting, Peter Kasper, Fermilab physicist, made a report regarding recent bird sightings. The sightings, and many photos, are maintained in an online diary.
