SIMULATION Project 1 of 7: Observation Overview You are a member of the Barstow College Observation Project committee. You are preparing the initial

summary report for this year's count, but have not received all of the data you need to complete the report.

Introduction

The multi-departmental Wildlife Observation Project has completed its wildlife population counts for this

year. The counts were made between May 5 and May 7 for both the wilderness and cultivated land areas.

This is in line with the count periods for all previous years. The species used for the counts have been

identified as common for the region (central Missouri) in which the counts were taken. (Author, 2009) As in

previous years, five observation blinds were set up two weeks before the counts were to take place.

Counters worked eight-hour shifts providing 24-hour coverage of the count areas for two days. Weather for

both observation days was clear and mild (varying between 50-70 degrees F).

The results presented here are summary total results only, which counts from five and ten years ago

provided for comparison. Detailed observation results will be available as soon as they are completed. We

estimate that they will be available some time in the next two weeks.

Wilderness Summary

The wilderness observation area is a five-acre section of unimproved forest land. The most common trees

in the area are maple, red oak, cedar, sweet gum, and hickory. The area also includes a small spring. The

area is not enclosed by a fence or other man-made barrier.

The area is located eight miles from the nearest paved road and twelve miles from the nearest residence.

Off-road vehicles were used to bring counters close to, but not entering, the count area. The nearest

approach by off-road vehicles was one mile.

The table below lists the summary counts.

Though further research any analysis is needed, the drop in mourning dove and bobwhite quail counts

could be significant. The detailed count data shows these numbers failing off each year.

Cultivated Land Summary

The cultivated land observation area is a five-acre section of cultivated land near the center of a 50-acre

field. The field is used to grow corn, wheat, soybeans, and clover, with the crop rotated annually. In the fifth

year of the cycle, the field is left fallow.

The area is located two miles from the nearest paved road and one mile from the nearest residence. A

storage barn is located at the southern border of the field.

The table below lists the summary counts.

Additional Notes

This project was initially scheduled to run for ten years, so we are currently in our last year. The committee

needs to decide if it is worth the time and expense to continue the project. The landowners have

experience that they would be happy to let us continue. Costs relating to the project is minimal and it does

provide an opportunity to offer extra credit to students volunteering as counters. A suggestion has been

made by some committee members that we should increase the count frequency, counting on a quarterly

schedule instead of an annual schedule. This would need to be coordinated with the owner of the

cultivated field so that we do not interfere with planting or harvesting schedules.

Special Thanks

Once again, we would like to offer special thanks to:

We couldn't do this without you.
