Fantasy Titles Focused on Nature/Conservation

Hello,

Is anyone familiar with any fantasy titles that are focused primarily on nature, animals, conservation, ecology? Want to know if anyone's tread this ground that I might be treading for inspiration.

What could we do in Alberta as private citizens to help wildlife the best we can?

Hello guys! As a new resident who came visiting here multiple times before, seeing recent bad news about nature, I was wondering how we can pitch in to help Alberta's wildlife as everyday citizens? Of course there's the obvious ones like no littering or donating to local conservation efforts and wildlife rehabilitation centers, but do you have other recommendations? Maybe ones involving local politics and small local activity? What are your thoughts?






What are some of the areas of ecology right now most likely to get you a job in government after grad school?

Ecology (from Greek: οἶκος, "house"; -λογία, "study of") is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their biophysical environment.

What are some of the areas of ecology right now most likely to get you a job in government after grad school?

I'm currently considering what to focus further in on in ecology for grad school, but based on job postings and conversations, it sounds like wildlife jobs are more common out west, and I'd really prefer to stay in the mid-atlantic region. While I enjoy the science, I'm open to transitioning into other areas like policy or non-profit work. I have a plant as well as wildlife background, but currently have been interested in ecological restoration work. However I'm also considering coastal or wetland work since I live near the Chesapeake Bay. I'm largely interested in making an environmental impact, but want a useful and applicable background.

Edit: Thanks so much for all your replies!! You've all been super helpful and I really appreciate the advice.

What are generally considered to be the best Ecology/Wildlife Biology Masters Programs in the U.S.?

Hi all,

I'm a recent Bachelor's graduate looking to go into wildlife biology or environmental consulting type fields and realized a tad late that getting a Masters is conducive to getting something permanent. I'm planning to do seasonal work for the time being to get experience, but also starting the process of looking for Masters programs to apply to. Can I ask if there are any schools that are widely considered to have "good" M.S. programs for ecology, wildlife biology, etc.? Thanks!

Supporting The Creature Conservancy - Get Involved

Hi all,

As I'm sure many of you are aware, there's a current concern between the Lodi Township Board of Trustees. In a recent email from TCC, they mentioned writing letters to Lodi Township in support of the TCC. I wanted to streamline that process in hopes more people will write to them. The following are emails of the Board of Trustees as well as a letter you can copy/paste if you do not want to write your own. I do encourage you to add your own paragraph on your personal experiences with TCC to add some anecdotal support. As a disclaimer, I am not affiliated with Lodi Township or TCC in any way; I am just a concerned resident of Ann Arbor.

Supervisor Jan Godek: jan@LodiTownshipMI.org

Clerk Christina Smith: christina@LodiTownshipMI.org

Treasurer Michelle Foley: michelle@LodiTownshipMI.org

Assessor: Stephanie Renius, Renius & Renius: assessor@LodiTownshipMI.org

These addresses were found here: https://loditownshipmi.org/contact-us/

Here is the letter for anyone to copy/paste and/or modify as you see fit.

Dear Members of the Lodi Township Board of Trustees,

I am writing to voice my strong support for The Creature Conservancy and to encourage the Board to recognize the significant value this organization brings to our community. The current dispute over zoning ordinances and development plans is concerning, and I believe it is essential to consider the many benefits The Creature Conservancy offers.

The Creature Conservancy is not just an animal sanctuary; it is an educational and conservation-focused organization that provides essential experiences for residents of all ages for nearly 20 years. Through their diverse programs, The Creature Conservancy enhances our understanding and appreciation of wildlife and environmental conservation. Their commitment to animal care, education, and community involvement is truly commendable.

The sanctuary offers unique learning opportunities for schools, families, and individuals, raising awareness about endangered species and the importance of conservation efforts. The Creature Conservancy's presence in our area exemplifies our community's dedication to environmental education and conservation. For example, The Creature Conservancy is currently hosting a variety of Summer Zoo Camps for children of all ages (almost all of which have been filled!). The topics of these camps vary from learning how to care for animals, gaining applicable knowledge on protecting and appreciating local Michigan wildlife, and building the skills required for a future career in animal/veterinary science, to just name a few.

The Creature Conservancy has a proven track record of working closely with local authorities and the community to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. As they are a non-profit, the financial support required to meet these needs are primarily sourced through donations and educational programs. Mounting legal fees or the potential of requiring The Creature Conservancy to make major changes to its structures could devastate the organization, forcing their closure through lack of sufficient finances.

Losing The Creature Conservancy would be a significant loss to our community. It would deprive us of an invaluable educational resource and a unique sanctuary that connects people with nature. I respectfully urge the Lodi Township Board of Trustees to collaborate with The Creature Conservancy to find a solution that addresses the concerns of all parties involved.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I am hopeful that we can continue to support and preserve The Creature Conservancy for the benefit of our community and future generations.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Does anyone here work in LA with a focus on habitat restoration/ecology side of things?

You can pretty much post anything here that pertains to Landscape Architecture. I am a landscape architect and i just enjoy reading about the field and anything that relates to it, urban planning, architecture, storm water management, community development, etc. Hope y'all enjoy.

Does anyone here work in LA with a focus on habitat restoration/ecology side of things?

I would love to hear about your experience-

currently I have a double BS in natural resources and horticulture and have experience doing ecology feild work.

Unfortunately ecology dosnt have any job stability and rarely pays a living wage (even if i made 60k a year i would be satisfied, for reference i have never made over 18 an hour at a job living in Massachusetts which is less than a stop and shop employee here) so I am thinking of switching to landscape architecture.

It seems like a ton of LA masters programs have a lot of coursework with ecology and natural space focuses but I'm curious how much of a job market there really is for this, if these jobs pay less than other LA jobs, and what the work environment is actually like within them.

Thanks :)


Ecologists- Would a soil scientist be considered an expert on ecology and be able to adequately weigh in on how a wetlands would be impacted by the removal of the mature woods in it's buffer?

A soil scientist in town tried to make the claim that there would be no adverse impact on a wetlands after the some of the mature forest in its buffer would be removed for housing. Is someone with that degree/certification really qualified to speak on the ecological impact on the wetlands and it's wildlife?
