As many Mainers struggle to figure out how to work from home and adhere to social distancing guidelines while still getting their jobs done, the state’s wildlife biologists have largely been able to complete field research projects with only slight adjustments, according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife’s wildlife division director. DIF&W conducts a number of long-term studies, including field research on black bears, moose, deer, wild turkeys and endangered shore birds.
