After a lovely trip home and (partial) reprieve from the cold, I settled back into Fairbanks…for two days.\u00a0 Monday morning found me on a plane to Anchorage where I was to help BLM and Alaska Natural Heritage Program folks with projects down there.\u00a0 While \u2018down south\u2019 I worked in the University of Alaska-Anchorage Herbarium identifying, mounting, labeling and accessioning specimens collected under BLM projects.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve probably mentioned before, I find mounting plants to be a terrific creative outlet.\u00a0 These little Botrychium alaskense were my favorite.<\/p>\n

Although most of the plants I was working with were from my subject region (interior), I also processed some plants from the Aleutian Islands, which was a fascinating experience as these islands are such a unique ecosystem and certainly have different flora from what I have encountered in my mostly land locked forays up in Fairbanks.<\/p>\n

In the office I am getting geared up for the summer field season, even though it is many frigid months away.\u00a0 The exciting happenings here are a bat project that was funded for this year.\u00a0 We are going to be doing acoustic monitoring of Little Brown Bats in the interior and I am working away ordering and gathering equipment, developing methodology and study design and learning as much about these little guys as I can.<\/p>\n

I’ll leave you with some nature eye candy from a personal hiking and ice climbing trip.<\/p>\n
