Member Exclusive: The Soundscape of Duke Farms

Learn, and listen, with us as we explore campus through the sounds that make it inherently unique. A wide variety of interesting research projects were begun (or continued) at Duke Farms this year. From utilizing volunteers to search for ground-nesting bumblebees to conducting extensive grassland bird monitoring on early summer mornings, we experienced a thoroughly busy field season! Take a deep dive into one of these projects during The Soundscape of Duke Farms: Virginia Osnato, our Ecologist Coordinator, will share information about acoustic monitoring occurring on campus and give you the opportunity to listen to recordings collected thus far.
