We have kicked off our summer field sampling and it has been busy! We have two new OSU BES interns, Keelie and Lexie, both from Tri-Cities, WA. This summer we are working on several new projects in eastern Oregon including: wildfire impacts on grassland native bee and spider communities, beneficial grassland invertebrate presence on adjacent farms, and predator-prey interactions in both grasslands and surrounding agricultural areas. There is a lot going on this summer and we will be detailing each project in following posts! For now here are a few photos we have taken this summer:
