OLC Board Members spent time with DNR this week, working to determine if a Motus tower would be a good fit at Atherton Island Natural Area.

After DNR's site visit, we enjoyed a nice hike listening for birds.

What is Motus?

Motus is an international research community working together to study the movement and behavior of birds, bats, and insects. These animals carry miniaturized tags that transmit information to stations placed across the landscape. This powerful conservation tool transforms how we understand and protect biodiversity.
