Thank you to the 137 volunteers who completed the 2019 Coverts Project Survey! I look forward all year to hearing what you have been up to - you’ve managed habitat for wildlife, helped to conserve land in your communities, and engaged your friends, families, and neighbors. The variety of ways you volunteer and the number of hours you put in is, as always, impressive and inspiring.
The 2019 Annual Report for the Coverts Project is posted online, and represents a compilation of all of your surveys and other data our office collects (e.g. Speaking for Wildlife information). Check out the full report and a short summary of it here:
