Discover the hidden world of Pennsylvania’s most elusive mammals and take part in real conservation science. Join Wildlands Conservancy at Maple Tract Preserve as we assist with a multi-year effort to study weasels and other rarely seen small mammals using remote wildlife cameras. 
During this hands-on field program, participants will help set up wildlife camera traps, learn how researchers monitor secretive species, and explore why small mammal conservation matters to healthy ecosystems. Along the way, we’ll hike through forests, wetlands, and rocky terrain while searching for signs of wildlife and discussing habitat needs and animal behavior.&nbsp;&nbsp;This program is ideal for adults and older youth interested in ecology, habitat management, conservation science, and responsible outdoor recreation.

This program will showcase the habitat restoration work completed to date, highlight the ecological benefits of managing utility corridors for wildlife, and provide an inside look at future plans for the site. 
 
Participants will learn how strategic vegetation management, invasive species control, native plant establishment, and ongoing stewardship efforts are improving habitat connectivity and biodiversity across the preserve. Along the tour, Carl will discuss current restoration successes, challenges, and the long-term vision for transforming the right-of-way into a thriving habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
