Learn about the flow of a typical field day and the information you can expect to know ahead of time.
Bark’s field work falls under two broad categories: groundtruthing and wetland surveys. Groundtruthing includes walking areas being planned for a timber sale, monitoring areas after they’ve been logged, and documenting recently burned areas of the forest. Wetland surveys include wetland mapping surveys, beaver habitat surveys, and wetland monitoring trips.
