Palm Beach Zoo volunteers return to the field
Last month, our partners at the Palm Beach Zoo returned to the field as volunteers for the Path of the Panther project. Joined by Wildpath camera trap technician George McKenzie Jr, the volunteers assisted with camera trap maintenance located on working lands north of the Caloosahatchee River. The goal for these cameras is to document the northward expansion of the Florida panther's range; critical for the recovery of the species.
