Education Highlights of 2024

At MAD Scientist Associates, educating others on the value of wetlands, biodiversity, and other natural resources, is part of our mission. We consider ourselves lucky to have opportunities and partnerships with local municipalities, parks, and education-centered organizations. We couldn’t do programs like Frog Friday or Wetland Wednesdays without support from communities that value wetlands.

Honeysuckle HackFest

The community really came together at Honeysuckle Hackfest! Special thanks to Alexys, Alan, and Ellie for leading the charge on the cut stump treatments that will prevent plants from resprouting next year. Multiple acres of eastern deciduous forest at Deer Haven Park in Delaware will be in much better health soon. The native shrub and tree planting planned for next year will help accelerate this recovery.

Exploring Ohio’s Streams: Summer Biological Assessments and Fascinating Finds

Jenna and Corbin have been leading biological stream assessments throughout the summer. This data helped organizations develop baselines for future comparison and secure grant funding for habitat preservation and restoration. Notable/fun finds have included: P1- Team using electrofisher in headwater stream. P2- Sorting haul from seine on the stream bank. P3- Grass Pickerel. A common, but cryptic predator of slow-moving waters. P4- Trout-Perch. A less-common, insect predator of deep pools in streams. P5- Least Brook Lamprey. The smallest, most common (and non-parasitic) of Ohio’s lampreys. P6- Male Blacknose Dace (in breeding colors). A common minnow of coldwater, rocky streams. P7- Mottled Sculpin. A scaleless, bottom-dwelling ambush hunter. P8- Larval Salamander. P9- Team seining in backwaters near Killbuck Creek. P10- Green Frog. #MADScientistAssociates #MakingADifference #Streams #FieldWork […]
