A fire burns along the ground in a ponderosa pine forest, New Mexico
A fire burns along the ground in a ponderosa pine forest, New MexicoPrescribed fires, such as this one, are used by land managers to restore ponderosa pine forests to more resilient conditions. We are fortunate to be able to occasionally participate in such burns because we are co-located with land managers.

Bat being swabbed for bacteria and fungi at El Malpais Ntl. Monument
Bat being swabbed for bacteria and fungi at El Malpais Ntl. MonumentResearch Wildlife Biologist, Ernie Valdez, is holding that is being swabbed for bacteria. Early findings of this research have shown that natural occurring bacteria on bats produce secondary metabolites that that may serve as natural defenses against the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans; the cause of white-nose syndrome that kills hibernating bats.
