Member Exclusive: Research Round-up

A wide variety of interesting research projects were begun (or continued) at Duke Farms this year. From utilizing volunteers to search for ground-nesting bumblebees to conducting extensive grassland bird monitoring on early summer mornings, we experienced a thoroughly busy field season! Take a deep dive into one of these projects during this Research Round-up, during which the primary staff member involved will share the most vital details as well as their preliminary results. Details on the exact project will be shared closer to the date.
