Logistics and Budget
• Sampling season: May 1 thru October 31
• Park and Project Leads commit approximately 7 and 17 days, respectively
• Protocol development $50K (UAS assistance)
• Annual equipment and supply costs less than $7K (maintenance, calibration standards, spare sensors, etc.)
• Backup equipment housed at SEAN office and ready for express air delivery
