Looking back on Round River’s summer field season

Looking back on Round River’s summer field season in Mongolia… and what a season it was.

Here to tell you more about it is Weber State student, Jaden Reynolds, and his vlog on Vansemberuu, an endangered and culturally revered plant. Jaden and his cohort spent long days in the mountains of the Darhad Valley searching for and documenting Vansemberuu to provide critical monitoring data for ongoing management.

The Whiting River is a transboundary river that fl

The Whiting River is a transboundary river that flows from the Coast Range of British Columbia, through Alaska, before reaching the Pacific Ocean. Partially due its remote nature, it lacks the research history of some of its neighboring systems. That gap has made it the focus of new monitoring efforts that seek to better understand wildlife occupancy and movement throughout the watershed.

This past June, Maggie Triska and Will Tyson of Round River Conservation Studies spent a week in Taku River Tlingit (TRT) Territory, working alongside TRT Land Guardians. Together they deployed twelve camera traps across a riparian corridor in the Whiting.

The cameras will quietly document wildlife movement through the study area before the team retrieves them this September. Their findings and analysis will be shared with TRT to support ongoing stewardship efforts in the region.

This project builds on more than 25 years of partnership between Round River and TRT, and is one of several on-the-land programming, community engagement, and collaborative research efforts that have been developed to support continued large landscape stewardship. This work is part of a research initiative in Northern Transboundary Watersheds, and is supported by the Wilburforce Foundation.

Our programs are not your average study abroad. Round River students live, work, and study in the field, contributing directly to the conservation efforts of our local partners while immersing themselves in the ecosystem they are researching.

The search for Vansemberuu is on! The Mongolia tea

The search for Vansemberuu is on! The Mongolia team has been hard at work on the talus slopes of the Darhad Valley seeking out this endangered plant.

Vansemberuu, also called snow lotus, holds medicinal and cultural significance to the communities of the Darhad Valley, but its population is threatened by poaching. Our students are part of efforts to locate and tag adult plants, ensuring their long term monitoring and ongoing conservation.

While Vansemberuu surveys might be some of the most challenging fieldwork of the summer, everyone agrees - it makes up for it in views!
