About us & Acknowledgements

The purpose of this site is to organize the various forms of biodiversity data that are generated at the reserve. These include photographs, species sightings, publications, sound recordings, and museum and herbarium specimens.  We expect the data to be used by students from primary through graduate school, researchers, and the general public. In addition the site can serve the staff in making management decisions about land use policies.
