Baraboo Hills Research Collective
Ecological Monitoring and Natural History

The world is changing rapidly and the ecologies of places around the world are in flux. Although the environmental crisis means that in many ways we are reacting and responding, the Baraboo Hills Research Collective is rooted in a curiosity and a deep appreciation of natural history.
We are committed to generating and curating a long-term ecological dataset encompassing several trophic levels and taxa. From monitoring seasonal peaks in caterpillar biomass to learning about the demography of forest bird species, we believe that data-driven conservation and land management are important tools for maintaining ecological integrity.


Our Research pages offer an overview of our work and core datasets, and we encourage you to reach out with questions and ideas on our Contact page.
