 GapTracks project on Facebook - This project is run by Dr. Noah Perlut and his students in the School of Marine and Environmental Programs, University of New England. They use remote cameras to study the wildlife community along the GAP section of the Eastern Trail and Nonesuch River—evaluating the current wildlife community (begun in Feb 2017), the community during trail construction, and the community after trail construction. "The GapTracks Project: Wildlife on the Eastern Trail" is a video which gives a presentation of data collected by the student participants.
