Stroud Center entomologists have been sampling macroinvertebrates in the Susquehanna River near Procter & Gamble’s Mehoopany plant since 1974. The number of insect species collected has doubled over that time period.
Stroud Center entomologists, interns, and educators joined citizen scientists and others for the National Park Service Centennial BioBlitz.
Held in drought-stricken southern California, the focus was on the consequences of depleting freshwater resources and potential solutions.
Stroud Center’s internship program, now in its 44th year, has ushered through hundreds of interns who have come in search of meaningful work.
