Squirrel Science at Tregaron

April 14, 2022
Squirrel science at Tregaron

Last week, we hosted wildlife biologists from Hobart and William Colleges performing field research at Tregaron as part of a study (in collaboration with geneticists at Yale University) examining how urbanization affects wildlife. The scientists are mapping black squirrels to determine why they thrive in urban areas but decline in rural settings. This research will address longstanding questions about urban ecology and evolution and will help guide efforts to enhance biodiversity. Tregaron hosts a lot of black squirrels and we were pleased to help out! More background on the study here.
