For example, my master’s work is focused on Indigenous-led land caring in urban areas, and we are hoping this garden will be the catalyst for co-creating an Indigenous Healing Garden on campus. Another PhD student studying pollinators and urban community gardens has already expressed interest in using the Carleton garden as a study site. This project has been a clear example of the benefits pollinator friendly spaces can bring to educational institutions and urban spaces. How will you be a part of the rewilding movement? Have kids? Your child’s schoolyard could have grass just asking to become a pollinator refuge and gathering place. Here’s a blog on how to create a wildlife garden at your child’s school. You can also learn more about pollinator gardens by visiting Ecology Ottawa’s pollinator garden page, and accessing learning resources to start your own. https://www.biodiversityconservationsolutions.com/bcs-blog/mammals-of-gatineau-park monthly 0.5 2025-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171748791-LB0BYFGN6OXGK33JBWVU/RCNX0115.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171749613-LUPELVJ78J1D5J5ZFKB1/RCNX0127.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171751548-3OLZ9BFGMUM9AM88IJV7/RCNX0155.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park Silly white-tailed deer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171752787-XC9GV2WWR13ISR3X5UKL/RCNX0158.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171754580-R5VFS7YAY0KLNW665G1S/RCNX0165.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171755320-7FU39OTFY26ZEEHV8UBO/RCNX0180.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171757407-M7C30EW9N1MJ611NUQF7/RCNX0186.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171758083-D903JV5FMLAX6D3HX46Q/RCNX0270.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171758413-4BB0FX1DDAZSDH9XNAH7/RCNX0337.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171759690-L2RSGQHR0LN3UUNTAOCN/RCNX0363.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171760944-FV1NN28JXOI9GG6EO3AG/RCNX0368.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171762308-EH979DPEHKWH6WCI1PKB/RCNX0398.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171763241-UNX0SFVR2EGZ25J10JH2/RCNX0426.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171764842-UF7X31V6XP0Y1M73K6RD/RCNX0459.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171765731-I9F19SIV6AVZEAI5KJTT/RCNX0460.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171767331-W9U983BIH44GSK4WYHNQ/RCNX0465.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171768974-NFBUE01GNFZJR18W01BV/RCNX0481.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171769053-4E7D8H8XKPV1SSMZRSPJ/RCNX0506.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171771792-VUPZLWJGLG8Q26DU4RQ8/RCNX0535.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171771069-FGTM3SP6VC7K91CAXXGC/RCNX0962.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171773927-MOQ9QO66DHVH57FXSBN0/RCNX1082.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171774601-MVM64AII6HD5X9DXKPJZ/RCNX1749.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171776307-RGBEPOC9W04FXNBKDGBI/RCNX1775.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171776614-AB19DXKIUN4CDKYTT8N3/RCNX2088.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171778231-SLMZZZPCV4M5IVVL911E/RCNX2177.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1736171779239-SDOQZWVTNB6CET37B5A1/RCNX2329.JPG BCS Blog - Mammals of Gatineau Park https://www.biodiversityconservationsolutions.com/bcs-blog/bcs-lab-at-aos-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1733494160502-SPD9VB2VH64XYDXXR6H3/Pic1.jpeg BCS Blog - BCS Lab at AOS 2024!

MSU colleague and friend Katie Brown picked me up from the Windsor train station, and after a short trip through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, I found myself in Motown. Since 2018 the Study of Active Neighborhoods in Detroit (StAND) team has been deploying AudioMoth recorders to collect acoustic data in the city. A large part of my research includes the analysis of this acoustic data to determine factors that affect avian diversity and occupancy in Detroit, which will in turn contribute to an understanding of potential synergies between biodiversity and human health in the city. Working as an ecologist in an urban environment can be challenging and requires sensitivity to the needs and concerns of the people that live there. Communicating the goals of your research effectively is important, but more important is an ability to listen with compassion and embrace new perspectives. Many of the residents we spoke with in the field expressed enthusiastic curiosity about our research and were quick to share their own stories about the goldfinches, blue jays and pheasants who call Detroit home. Near the end of my time in Detroit, I also had the pleasure of meeting the founders of Rescue Michigan Nature Now! The organization, founded by Detroit natives Tharmond Ligon Jr. and Zenaida Flores, has planted gorgeous pollinator gardens and maintains a large therapy forest across acres of restored vacant land. Tharmond and Zenaida work with local youth to maintain their growing sanctuary, and to teach the next generation the value and healing power of nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/3248117d-61b4-4056-9618-2e6737109718/CDennison_presentation.JPEG BCS Blog - Graduate Student Travelling - The NACCB Conference – Vancouver, British Columbia Following my two weeks in Detroit, I made the journey to Vancouver, British Columbia to attend the Society for Conservation Biology North America (NACCB) conference. The natural beauty of the west coast was remarkable. Dense forests filled with towhees and thrushes are surrounded by distant mountains and the strong scent of the sea. In the backdrop was a gathering of passionate conservationists, many of whom I was privileged to make connections with. From fellow graduate students to veteran scientists, my five days at the NACCB conference was spent with wonderful people eager to share their expertise, advice, and kindness. Meeting scientists I have long admired, and finding potential opportunities for work following my degree, made my time in Vancouver extremely fulfilling. I had the opportunity to share my research and findings during a 15-minute talk and was honoured to receive an award for best student presentation at the conference. In a digital world increasingly defined by online meetings, the opportunity to meet with colleagues and potential collaborators in person was an absolute pleasure. I have no doubt my time at the NACCB conference opened professional pathways that otherwise would not have been possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/7f4d4603-3db9-4244-88cf-6e8936b46a96/CDennison_Colorado.jpg BCS Blog - Graduate Student Travelling - The Rocky Mountains – Fort Collins, Colorado Vancouver is difficult to top in the arena of natural beauty, but my next destination, Colorado, certainly made a strong case. I had the joy of bringing my better half with me for this leg of my adventure, and we were both treated to many stunning hikes, the most memorable being a trek to the top of Signal Mountain with bioacoustics legend Dr. Kurt Fristrup. Much like Vancouver, the natural beauty of Colorado was augmented by the scientists I was able to meet, including Kurt and others from Colorado State University. The short time I also spent with passionate researchers working with the US Parks Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division was greatly appreciated and afforded me even more connections to build upon those already made in Vancouver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/d4770f54-b566-4749-964d-f4c9d7a48c01/CDennison_Detroit_meadow.jpg BCS Blog - Graduate Student Travelling https://www.biodiversityconservationsolutions.com/bcs-blog/my-experience-as-a-summer-internnbsp monthly 0.5 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/20b11adb-7b7c-41c2-97bc-931cff906873/Picture+of+Laptop.jpg BCS Blog - My Experience as a Summer Intern  - Silvia Colucci This summer, I had the opportunity to intern with the Biodiversity Conservation Solutions lab! My internship was organized through the Dean’s Summer Research Internship (DSRI) award at Carleton University. This was my first research related experience, and I learned so much from it. One of the things I loved most about this internship was the variety of different research projects I got to help with. I worked with four current Masters students in the lab on their thesis projects and learned a lot about different kinds of biodiversity conservation research. Here are some of the projects I was able to work on: I mainly worked with Aalia, helping with her systematic review paper about the different threats birds face in urban environments and potential solutions. I got to see the process of writing a systematic review and I was taught how to use the database Covidence. My tasks included screening articles for criteria requirements, supplemental searching, and data extraction. Over the course of the summer, I screened almost 2000 articles at the full-text stage. I learned how to properly read and extract information from scientific papers, a skill that will be very useful in my studies and future career. Additionally, it was interesting to learn about the different conservation efforts and solutions presented in the papers I was reading! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/6f576738-3b7a-4a55-8b5e-77cfdc13fbcc/IMG_2647.jpg BCS Blog - My Experience as a Summer Intern  - I got to learn about urban fieldwork from Stasha through her project on bird-window collisions. I helped her install and take down acoustic monitors on campus and around downtown Ottawa, took notes for window analysis, and helped monitor carcasses for a persistence trial. Although hearing about bird-window collisions isn’t a very positive thing, I learned about different solutions that can prevent bird-window collisions, such as bird-friendly decals and murals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/186390f2-9e42-420c-b603-a9cc6aae6a90/Picture+from+Gatineau.jpg BCS Blog - My Experience as a Summer Intern  I also had the opportunity to visit Gatineau Park with Lilli, and her field technician, Laura, to observe what a day of fieldwork can look like. We serviced equipment at the sites and performed bird surveys by listening for their calls and trying to spot different species. I have very little knowledge about birds and their calls (I’m slowly learning though!), but we were able to spot a Scarlet Tanager, which I had never seen before! https://www.biodiversityconservationsolutions.com/bcs-blog/living-roads monthly 0.5 2024-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1720533674298-USEURI6K5OB4RN8A6SDY/Picture2.jpg BCS Blog - Living Roads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1720533640335-45I85205T9B75M9IQ89J/IMG_8018.jpeg BCS Blog - Living Roads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/410ce0e1-de7c-443d-b8d6-e804e81ede2e/IMG_0037.jpeg BCS Blog - Living Roads We found this beautiful mama snapping turtle lingering roadside, so we encouraged her to move somewhere a little safer. The next day, lo and behold, she was back on the roadside laying her eggs (snapping turtles love laying their eggs in sandy, gravely substrates, so roadsides make an enticing nesting spot)! A nest box was put in place by park staff to protect her eggs, which should hatch by the end of August. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1720533844282-C0LIN0MSQPXHFF8O9539/IMG_1182.jpeg BCS Blog - Living Roads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/1720533842956-DSP4TKV7EAH9QO4TJEJQ/IMG_8034.jpeg BCS Blog - Living Roads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6380f4eec135605dd7505be2/b8aa779a-9b3f-494f-9b65-66f18ec50133/IMG_1213.jpeg BCS Blog - Living Roads Early this summer the newts were on the move, travelling from their overwintering grounds in the forest to their spring breeding ponds.
