Project Squirrel
This research program started with a simple question: "Is the squirrel that I see everyday outside my window the same squirrel?"
This question has grown into an ecological research program conducted by students on the campus of the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine.
Using mark-recapture techniques and radio telemetry, we explore movement patterns and survival of the Eastern Gray Squirrel on campus and the surrounding community.
