Program accomplishments

  • Continuation of the long-term Pennsylvania Amphibian and Reptile Survey (PARS: paherpsurvey.org). The project reached over 2,700 registered participants/volunteers from the general public. Over 205,000 records of amphibians and reptiles in Pennsylvania have been collected, making the PARS project the largest repository of Pennsylvania amphibian and reptile data in the world. The data is used by our organization and governmental agencies to evaluate species statuses. The project is also one of the largest state-focused citizen science projects for herpetology in the country, providing an opportunity for the general public to contribute to scientific study in a way that is typically not available to lay persons.

  • Our organization continued the first region-wide Bog Turtle project that tied states from the northeast United States, from Massachusetts to Maryland, together via unified sampling, data recording, and spatial methodologies. Work also included habitat management actions needed to maintain appropriate conditions to support healthy populations. Partners included state wildlife agencies, the USFWS, NRCS, and conservation NGOs. The Bog Turtle is a federally threatened species and listed as threatened or endangered in every state which it occurs in the northeastern USA. Data collection continued for the project including volunteer-based surveys. The data collected through this project has been vital to Bog Turtle conservations efforts, including long-term monitoring of populations and improving the suitability of northeastern habitats. The program has also allowed over 100 turtle biologists to volunteer with a very rare species and aid in the conservation of a globally rare turtle. Phase 2 of this project has continued from the conclusion of Phase 1.
