Franklin's ground squirrels are a poorly-studied species in Alberta that may be at risk of extinction, and to address this we are collaborating with Nature Alberta to learn more about this species. In this project, the student will complete field surveys and will also lead outreach activities with the public. The outreach events and activities will help promote the project in order to encourage data submission from people across the province, enabling everyone to help contribute to our knowledge of this species. The student will also complete data entry remotely.  

Field data collection, public outreach activities, data entry 

I will train student to collect field data, I will work in the field with them, and will provide them instructions on completing data entry and other tasks. I will organize outreach events and present with them so that they feel confident in their presentation skills.
