The University of California, Davis Wood Duck Nest Box Project, led by Dr. John Eadie, has played a vital role in supporting Wood Duck conservation through 26 years of research and hands-on student involvement. This project has contributed to the recovery of Wood Duck populations in California's Sacramento Valley while providing over 700 undergraduate student interns with practical field experience. Student filmmaker Edilyn Lazo documented the 2024 field season, focusing on the efforts of a monitoring intern crew and master's student Tenaya Russell. The resulting 12-minute film explores the impact of artificial nesting sites on Wood Duck conservation and highlights the intersection of research, student engagement, and wildlife preservation. In a 5-minute presentation preceding the screening, Edilyn will discuss the project's significance, its legacy of fostering student involvement in real-world conservation, and the collaborative student efforts behind the documentary's production.
