Making Bioboards at MPNC
Bio- boards are sheets of plywood that are positioned in strategic areas to provide shade and cover for reptiles, amphibians, insects and small mammals. Bio-boards are often used by herpetologists to determine the presence of snakes in areas of interest.
One area of interest is Hammonasset Beach State Park. It has long been known that there are snakes within the border of the Park. However, determining how many and what species has been a question. These bio-boards will help.
