Cedarburg Science staff and interns in the field!





















It's high summer here in southeastern Wisconsin, and the Cedarburg Science team is out in the field, performing a wide array of services for our clients.

As part of our wind farm work, we are conducting avian and bat mortality studies this year. Our staff are pictured above under a turbine, and walking transects. Also seen above are staff doing storm water inspections.

Each summer, interns play an important role at Cedarburg Science. Interns are shown above getting ready for invasive species work. As the summer comes to a close, these folks are headed back to school for the autumn semester. Thanks to these interns who've worked diligently alongside our regular staff! Best wishes for the upcoming school year.

Please contact us at 262-376-0735 or see our website at http://www.cedarburgscience.com if you have questions about our services.

great presentations at the Illinois Wind Working Group 3rd Annual Conference

Lesley and Bill attended the IWWG 3rd Annual Conference - Advancing Wind Power in Illinois 2009, at the Interstate Center, in Bloomington, Illinois - held this week Wednesday and Thursday, and hosted by the Center for Renewable Energy at Illinois State University. We learned a great deal about the state of wind energy in Illinois at present, and where the industry is headed. To see an agenda for the conference, go to this link. We also participated in a tour of Invenergy's Grand Ridge Wind Farm in Marseilles, IL. Although we work on a wind farm (a bird and bat mortality study), here in Wisconsin, it is always valuable to see how other facilities compare. At Grand Ridge we had an opportunity to see some turbines in various stages of construction, as well as completed and operational units.
