San Jose State Biology 198 Students
at the Reserve, Spring 2020
During spring 2020, a group of nine undergraduate San Jose State University students will be conducting four research projects at the Reserve, under the direction of SJSU instructor and CDLO board member, Stephanie Trewhitt. Projects include using field cameras to contrast wildlife visits to restored versus natural woodland sites along the creek, an analysis of the vegetation at restored native grass sites along the creek, using field cameras to detect wildlife that visits the various drinkers at the reserve, an analysis of the diversity and behavior of birds occupying constructed houses at different sites, and a survey of organisms at several ponds at the Reserve. The students will be aided by Reserve volunteers Bob Clement, Henry Coletto, and Rod Myatt.
San Jose State University's Biology 198 class is designed for undergraduates in the Biology Department who want to gain field research experience. The SJSU course is offered every semester giving new students the ability to gain field research experience.
