We monitor indicators of health at the landscape, community and species level and are interested in the potential of lepidopterans as a species level indicator. </span></font>

<p><font face="Tahoma" color="black" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">We are interested in conducting some lepidopteran surveys this summer (July-August 2009). We would be interested in the diversity and possibly abundance of species at each site. The consulting contract would include development of survey methodology to stay consistent among sites, a work plan (timeline for completion of all sites), a brief report summarizing the findings, and an Excel file, to CVC specifications, provided to CVC with the data. </span></font></p>
