“My project involves the compiling, analyzing, and presentation of 20 years’ worth of biodiversity and stormwater retention data collected by George Ambrose on the man-made Naylors Run Wetland. We are working with the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) to draft a community science report using this man-made wetland as an example of a long-term biodiversity study. Through this report, we hope to set an example of the power of community science, assess the viability of man-made wetlands to maintain/increase biodiversity, stress the importance of wetlands, and educate community members on community science practices that they can engage in. Going forward, this project can be used for the development of programs that continue the community science work being done today, and for grant applications to restore the wetland or fund wetland-related educational programs.” Roland Wall, Director of the Patrick Center at ANS congratulated Dylan for a “job well done at such a young age,” and praised the project as an “outstanding scholarship.”
