​Research underpins all of BRMC's education programs. For over 30 years, we have sponsored and assisted numerous baseline studies that add important data to BRMC's and our partners' understanding of our local wildlife and ecosystems.

 

BRMC partnered with Virginia’s Division of Natural Heritage, the Smithsonian Conservation and Biology Institute, The American Chestnut Foundation, and other science and conservation organizations to conduct these studies,

 

Our support for these projects include raising funds, facilitating access to research sites, and providing hands-on staff and volunteer assistance.

Permits are required to utilize the Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve as a research area.​
