MAINE PUBLIC • March 11, 2022
Starting this month, the Maine "Big Night" project gets local citizens to head out on warm rainy nights to collect data on frogs and salamanders. It's an example of the wide range of community science programs throughout Maine that aim to help wildlife and the environment—from amphibians to birds. We'll hear how people can get involved in collecting data and studying the natural world. Panelists: Greg LeClair, project creator/coordinator, Maine's Big Night; Sally Stockwell, Maine Audubon; Craig McLaughlin, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. VIP Callers: Allison Kanoti, state entomologist, Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry; Justin Arnott, science and operations officer, National Weather Service in Gray.
