The fall field season has been a busy one. Students and citizen scientists have added valuable found and not found data to the Vital Signs database on invasive and native species across the state, playing an essential role in statewide efforts to document and respond to invasive species.
Vital Signs lost a dear friend and invaluable colleague over the holidays. Les Mehrhoff, passionate naturalist, co-founder of the Invasive Plant Atlas of New England, champion of Vital Signs, and the Vital Signs species expert for numerous invasive and native species, died suddenly on December 22, 2010.
Crayfish experts Matt Scott, Bill Reid, and Karen Wilson are awaiting results from a crayfish site comparison study by Kennebunk Middle School students slated for 9.12.08 at the Merriland River, Mousam River, Branch Brook, and the Kennebunk River.
