Field assistant - work project: 2016 - ongoing

During my university years, I really grew to love fieldwork, which in ecological terms means going out to observe species and habitats. We record them, create maps of their distribution, note the species present, and identify factors threatening the habitats.

Since I faced the same issue here—being unable to decide which area interested me more—I remained a field assistant. This means I'm not an expert in any single group, but I can adapt very well to various methodologies, maps, point and quadrant searches, and, in general, the field conditions.

I assisted botanists,

ornithologists,

I talked to local people,

and I tried to do everything possible for successful field days.

Dwarf Almond (Amygdalus nana) on the hills by the Little Somes River.

Fen Orchid (Liparis loeselii) in the Bükk-Malom Valley Natura 2000 area. If we want to see this plant again, we urgently need to devise a water retention strategy.

And the other projects:

One of my classmates, Emőke Péter, wrote her thesis on insect hotels, and I joined her for a few field days.

We collected sediment samples from lakes in Germany.

Another classmate of mine, Réka Erös wrote her thesis on the distribution of yellow-bellied toads (Bombina variegata) in the Bükk-Malom Valley Natura 2000 area, and I assisted her as well.

I joined the monitoring program for the marsh viper (Vipera ursinii rakosiensis) for one day as well.

This activity is important to me because during each field assistant opportunity, I learn many things that I can later share with those interested in nature education. I consider the connection between different fields of expertise essential, and this type of work is part of that for me.
