ANHC Participates in Birds, Bats, and Blades Program
ANHC Aquatic Species Biologist, Jason Throneberry, recently participated in “Birds, Bats, and Blades”, an outreach program hosted by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The focus of the program was Karst topography, alternative energy, aquatic ecology, and natural systems. The two-day program was held in at Grotto Springs Ranch in Timbo, AR.
Students from Ozarka College, as well as local residents, attended the program. They sampled for fish and macroinvertebrates, participated in interpretive hikes, and visited a cave.
Throneberry and Casey Cox, a graduate student at the University of Central Arkansas, conducted the aquatic ecology portion of the program, overseeing fish and macroinvertebrate sampling and interpretation of data the group collected.
