The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is inviting individuals and interested groups to become part of a seasonal pools registry and research project funded by a State Wildlife Grant.

The project involves partnering with scientists from academic institutions, non-profit organizations, state and federal agencies and public volunteers to identify, locate and study seasonal pools in Pennsylvania.

The information gathered will be used as a baseline for future inventory, studies and regulatory considerations.

This project complements the ongoing studies conducted through the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program by biologists with WPC and The Nature Conservancy.

Individuals or groups interested in volunteering in this effort should contact Ephraim Zimmerman at ezimmerman@paconserve.org or call 412-586-2334.
