Wildlife Committee

The Wildlife Committee works to bring students experience in wildlife biology, management, and research through a wide variety of research projects, workshops and events. The wildlife chair has formed the Falcon Box Committee focused on maintenance of the box and preparation for the arrival of the falcons to the Spartan Stadium. Visit our Falcon Box page to learn more about the project and to access the live-cam!​

Kellogg Bird Sanctuary Work
Member's volunteer at the Kellogg Bird Sanctuary every fall, gaining hands on skills of game bird and waterfowl management and care. We help out with maintaining some of their upland game bird habitats, as well as help with the health checks of several of their birds (often the waterfowl - including the permanent resident swans and geese).

Trapping Workshops
Necessary skills in trapping is needed in order to conduct wildlife management and research. We often will put on small mammal trapping workshops, as well as larger animal trapping. Once our members are certified, they have plenty of opportunities to gain practice through various research projects conducted by the Club.
