University of New England Professor Noah Perlut and his students will give an overview of their GapTracks Project in a virtual presentation Wednesday, April 27.
The project, which began in 2017, uses remote cameras to assess the wildlife population in the Gap section of the Eastern Trail and Nonesuch River, between Wainwright Field in South Portland and the Black Point area of Scarborough. Perlut and his Terrestrial Wildlife class students this spring reviewed thousands of pictures taken over the past four years. Wildlife detected include bobcats, turkeys and deer.
Registration is required for the 7:15 p.m. presentation, sponsored by Friends of Scarborough Marsh and Scarborough Public Library. To register visit scarboroughlibrary.org. To learn more about the GapTracks project, visit facebook.com/GapTracks.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
