Due to the truncated season (almost two-thirds of the planned transects were canceled for lack
of snow) all volunteer hours were down this year. This year, as was true in the past few years,
volunteers spent fewer hours on administration thanks to increased efficiency: tasks have
become more routine; meetings are now done as conference calls or email meetings; and
returning volunteers have strengthened the expertise of the project.
