Brochures
Coyotes - The coyote is an intelligent, adaptable species which has become
abundant in the northeast in the 20th century. This brochure gives biological
information on the coyote, historical details of its range, descriptions of ongoing
coyote research here at the Gorge, and ways for local residents to avoid unwanted
RAP and WTP - Our two research programs, the Research Assistantship Program
(RAP) and the Wildlife Technician Program (WTP), provide unique opportunities for
graduate and high school student, respectively, to conduct applied ecological
research at the MRGP.

Meadow Management -- Describes how local citizens can help preserve native
species and contribute to the overall health of their watershed. The typical
suburban lawn is a non-native monoculture that requires intense effort and
resources (i.e. fertilizer). Changing your lawn into a high-cut lawn, hay meadow, or
naturally-occurring meadow can provide important ecosystem benefits as well as
greater aesthetic beauty. Some how-to info is available in this brochure.
