Don McAlpine and I have been busy these past 2 days working with Andre Arseneault, a producer with Rogers TV, and Don MacPhail, member of the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund council. Rogers TV is doing a series of episodes profiling various projects funded by the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund.
Filming was completed in one of our study caves as well as back here in the lab. Both of our guests were impressed with the small, muddy spaces they had to crawl through in the cave! Below you can see our before and after pictures. The episode will air in fall 2014.
