National Field Station Conservation Survey
July 11 @ 8:00 am - September 6 @ 5:00 pm EDT
Private conservation lands are an important part of protecting ecosystems and preventing habitat loss throughout the country. Field stations, in particular, contribute to conservation and provide opportunities for research, education, and training for our future environmental scientists and leaders.
We are asking that one representative from each field station located in the United States respond to this survey. The survey was developed independently of the Organization of Biological Field Stations. However, OBFS has reviewed the survey and provided guidance and support. Though limited, a few questions OBFS has asked in the past may also appear on this survey. The survey will take approximately ten to fifteen minutes to complete.
Your answers will further document the important conservation role of field stations. We will be sharing our final report with OBFS and all respondents. Respondents will also receive a 2-page information sheet demonstrating how their specific field station fits within the larger conservation network.
The survey opened on Monday, July 8th, and will close on September 6th. We ask that the survey be completed by a representative familiar with the field station's land management and administrative organization. The survey is about field stations and there are no personal questions. Your participation is voluntary and we do not foresee any risks.
We appreciate and value your input and look forward to receiving your completed survey.
