Hurricane Island-UMaine Sensor Network Project - Tuesday, July 15, 10:00am @ Turtle Head Preserve
Hurricane Island and the University of Maine are working together to implement a series of data-collecting buoys in the Gulf of Maine. This Summer, join IIT with Nicholas Keeney of Hurricane Island at Turtle Head to hear about their Sensor Network Project.
What buoys are they implementing? What information are they hoping to gather and what will be done with it? How have they chosen where to set up this sensor network?
Join us to hear the answers and find out more!

Bluebird Box Installation Workshop
Bluebird Box Installation Workshop - Saturday, May 3, 10:00am @ the Blueberry Hill Preserve
We’ve built the boxes - now come help us set them up! On Saturday, May 3, we will place eight bluebird boxes at Blueberry Hill, in time for the Eastern Bluebird to scout them out for the nesting season. Learn about ideal placement, spacing and orientation of bluebird boxes. Then, let the monitoring begin!
Be sure to join us again in July, when Dr. Sarah DuRant leads an on-site discussion about the monitoring process, what we might expect to see at Blueberry Hill and her research with the University of Arkansas.
