Worried about the declining population of native brook trout in the Lake Champlain Basin, this young naturalist set out to determine if mating between native and non-native species was a factor. See her findings.

High in the eucalyptus trees in coastal southern California, a cluster of migrating monarch butterflies formed huddled masses, as if to brave the chill. I could appreciate their need for warmth as my own wind-chilled fingers refused to move, making the delicate task of handling one of the netted butterflies even more challenging. 

Intrigued by Eastern Redback salamanders, this young naturalist was inspired to research the worldwide amphibian decline. See her findings.
