Gary Smith helped too, but he was too busy to join this group photo. Tony Barnosky (to the right of Diane Renshaw) participates in his first ant survey since becoming the ED of Jasper Ridge. It is great to see Nicole Heller again; after working on the original ant surveys, she returned to the area this year as POST's Direvtor of Conservation Science. Many old hands are here, and a few young helpers bringing their enthusiasm and sharp eyes to the task. Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, 9/17/2016, 8:46 am on a foggy morning. Photo by Dan Quinn.
