Landmark Science & Engineering announced that Amy Nazdrowicz, a staff environmental scientist, has become registered as a “Recognized Qualified Bog Turtle Surveyor” by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
The Bog Turtle is a small, wetland-inhabiting turtle that is federally listed as “threatened” through the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the State of Maryland, and is listed as “endangered” by the states of Delaware, New Jersey, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Unique planning challenges are presented by Bog Turtles because their secretive nature and seasonal activeness restricts the time of year that a Phase II Bog Turtle survey can be executed to just April 15 through June 15.
A Phase I survey can be conducted at any time of year that the ground is not frozen or covered by snow. Nazdrowicz earned a M.S. in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Delaware and a B.S. in Environmental Science and Forest Biology from S.U.N.Y.
Amy is an environmental scientist with over 11 years of experience (over six with this firm), working in the environmental sciences, specializing in wetland creation design and native plantings, monitoring of the plant, wildlife and hydrologic conditions of created wetlands, habitat assessments, and conducting rare, threatened and endangered species studies, including Phase I and Phase II Bog Turtle Surveys.
She has been published in professional journals such as Biological Conservation and Restoration Ecology.
