Mammalogy Class & Service Learning

The Millersville University Mammalogy class is involved in a Service Learning Project with Lancaster Conservancy.  The Lancaster Conservancy just recently purchased new property in southern Lancaster County.  The Mammalogy class will be surveying this new property to get an idea of the mammal diversity within the area.  Recently, the Mammalogy Class checked rodent traps to get an idea of the small mammal diversity in the area.  Traps yielded multipe white-footed mice and a short-tailed shrew.  Other mammal trapping efforts will continue.
