Abstract
Fiscal Year 2022 was a time for CATT to clear the backlog of projects created during the covid-shortened field seasons of 2020-2021. We completed work on 10 field projects across 7 national forests and supported several Southern Research Station projects as well. The road-stream crossing inventories we completed will help several national forests to prioritize infrastructure improvement projects, our extensive stream fish and habitat inventories support project planning and forest-level monitoring, and our snorkeling education programs continue to show visitors the value of our forest waters.
Fiscal Year 2022 was also a time of change for the CATT field team. Several of our longest-tenured field team members left for other opportunities following the field season. We sincerely appreciate all that our departing staff contributed to the CATT during their time with our team. While we will miss them all, we are also excited to welcome new team members. We anticipate working with our partners at Virginia Tech to bring on several new staff this winter and spring. Stay tuned for upcoming job announcements!
As always, we are grateful for the many partners that contributed to the CATT mission in Fiscal Year 2022. We look forward to working with you all again in Fiscal Year 2023!
