Trail Camera Sessions: Field-Forest Edge

As part of the White Memorial Conservation Center's wildlife survey and monitoring

efforts, trail cameras are placed across many fascinating parts of the property. 

We hope to capture videos of several interesting species of wildlife, including species not

often seen here at White Memorial. 

This week our biologists monitored a local field-forest edge community on 

White Memorial Property. 

Can you spot and identify all the wildlife in the video highlight reel below?

Check back for more interesting trail camera videos throughout the summer season!
