Ground Dwelling Arthropod Collection

Develop an inventory of ground dwelling arthropods. Understand ground dwelling arthropod diversity as an indicator of ecosystem health.

Determine if arthropod communities are different at the urban interface of the Preserve compared with the Preserve interior.

Three times a year, participants, as part of a team, hike into the Preserve to open arthropod traps and then return three days later to collect from the traps
