5 Restoration and Conservation Accomplishments: Achieving Rich Biodiversity FNA volunteers and stewards are crucial to conducting the restoration work needed to maintain and conserve Fermilab's natural areas. Volunteers of all experience levels participate in outdoor ecological restoration workdays organized by stewards and Fermilab staff. Weekly workdays are held year round in addition to our larger annual events which include Earth Volunteers enjoy an outdoor workday removing harmful invasive species. Day and Arbor Day plantings, and two Autumn Prairie Seed Harvests. Stewards are trained volunteers who have committed to long-term regular work in an area that they have adopted. FNA's stewardship program continues to grow; in 2016, there were 15 stewards that have adopted woodlands where they host workdays and conduct restoration tasks. In 2015, stewards, monitors, and other volunteers recorded more than 5,100 hours of outdoor restoration activities. Volunteering is a great opportunity to experience nature, to learn about native plants and wildlife, and to make big improvements in the natural areas. How do we know that our efforts are succeeding? One measure is the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) which is an indication of native vegetation quality. The FQI has been increasing in the woodland areas being restored, thanks in large part to FNA volunteer efforts and donor support. 5
6 Plants and Wildlife Monitoring Plants and wildlife of the Fermilab natural areas are monitored in order to gather baseline data, measure the success of our restoration and conservation efforts, and to use the data for research. FNA volunteers assist with data collection, generation of databases, and document scanning. Databases for many types of plants and wildlife are generated, including the following: Plants of Concern Birds Pollinators such as Butterflies, Moths, and Bees Dragonflies & Damselflies Frogs, Salamanders, Snakes & Turtles Please visit our website for monitoring opportunities. Thanks to all of our past, current, and future plant and wildlife monitors for your time, expertise, and hard work. Top Left: Volunteer monitors, ready to head out into the field.
