A Prairie Ecologist Survey – Please Help!

I need a favor.

I spend quite a bit of time working on this blog each week, but in some ways publishing blog posts is like tossing text and photos into a void.  To help me better understand who is reading blog posts and how those posts affect you, I have created a very short online survey that I hope you’ll take.  This is a follow-up to a similar survey by Eliza Perry (former Hubbard Fellow) several years ago, but I’ve added a few extra questions.

Your responses will be completely anonymous, so you can be as brutally honest as you like.  I’m hoping that your answers will help me make this blog even better, and also help me understand what kind of impact the blog might be having.

Even if you only read this blog now and then, or just skim it to look at photos, please take the survey.  If you forward posts to friends or colleagues periodically, would you please forward this survey as well and encourage them to take it?

Please click HERE to take the survey.

THANK YOU for your help.
