George Bancroft Email and Phone Number
I am a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources Conservation and have a strong passion for reptile and amphibian ecology and population conservation. My goal is to work as a wildlife biologist/ecologist studying populations of reptiles and amphibians. I have been working extensively with reptiles and amphibians since 2014. My experience began as a Natural Resource Management major at Bristol County Agricultural where I had the opportunity to take courses related to wildlife, headstart threatened turtles, conduct independent research, and participate in a variety of other unique wildlife-related opportunities. During my time at UMass, I was actively involved with the student chapter of TWS and conducted research with salamanders. I spent four years working at a research technician studying a population of northern diamondback terrapins in Massachusetts, spent two years volunteering at the Buttonwood Park Zoo and have assisted with several other research projects. Currently, I am serving as an AmeriCorps member at the Georgia Sea Turtle conducting animal husbandry and research with carolina diamondback terrapins. Through all of my experiences, I have become well-versed, in field work, sampling and marking techniques, animal husbandry, data entry and analysis, using mapping software, and speaking at professional conferences and to lay people. My passion for wildlife goes beyond work and academia. I have spent countless hours of my free time recreational field herping, photographing and filming wildlife, and enjoy using my footage to create informative videos for my YouTube channel and producing other content for social media.

Americorps MemberGeorgia Sea Turtle Center Aug 2021 - PresentJekyll Island, Georgia, United StatesI have been serving as an AmeriCorps DBT/Husbandry member at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center since August of 2021. My position has been divided into two parts: serving in the Husbandry department and assisting with all aspects of diamondback terrapin research on Jekyll Island.As a husbandry member, I have been responsible for the daily care of all animal patients which includes completing a series of tasks daily. These include preparing diets, feeding patients, weighing patients, taking tank and exhibit temperatures, taking salinity readings, preforming water and dirt changes, and providing enrichment. I would also assist with all animal treatments with vet staff, once a week, where I was responsible for drawing up correct dosage amounts of medication and fluids, taking blood from Sea Turtles and reading those blood values, assisting with tube feeding, setting up turtle nebulization's, assisting with x-rays, and handling all patients during treatments.Since April, I have been responsible for all aspects of diamondback terrapin research on Jekyll Island. This has included patrolling the island's causeway daily for crossing terrapins, patrolling drift fencing for nesting females, collecting morphometric data on all captured terrapins, notching all captured terrapins, data entry into multiple databases, collecting genetics, and making sure all field equipment is stocked and replenished. I have also been responsible for extracting eggs from dead gravid females and maintaining the incubator where those eggs are being incubated.

Diamondback Terrapin Research TechnicianTaunton River Watershed Alliance Apr 2018 - Aug 2021Bristol County, MaFrom 2018 to 2021, I worked for the Taunton River Watershed Alliance (TRWA) as a research technician on a multi-year population assessment estimating the abundance of Northern Diamondback Terrapins (Malaclemys t. terrapin) in the Lower Taunton River Watershed. I was responsible for all aspects of field work, data entry and analysis, writing annual reports, and presenting the results of our research at professional conferences. During the field season, I would set, rebait, and monitor turtle traps daily, collected morphometric data on all captured turtles, marked turtles using PIT Tags and/or notching, and help coordinate all efforts to monitor nesting areas. The latter included leading a team of nesting volunteers who surveyed a beach daily for nesting terrapins. While surveying traps was primarily conducted via a motor boat, I would also use a kayak to survey traps, capture terrapins with dip nets, and conduct visual surveys.At the end of each field season, I would complete an annual report which extensively detailed the entire scope of our work including methods, results, discussions and recommendations for future assessments. These reports were submitted to the Massachusetts Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program as a reference for terrapin conservation management in the state. Additionally, I updated the projects nesting protocol.I would present the results of our research at the TRWA annual meeting every year I served as the research technician. I also present the scope of our work at the 2019 NE Natural History Conference, 2019 MassPARC meeting, and the 2020 Fall Massachusetts DBT working group meeting.

VolunteerButtonwood Park Zoo 2015 - 2017New Bedford MaAs a volunteer, I assisted keepers with daily and weekly animal needs primarily in the aquatics and seal department. This included preparing animal diets, feeding animals, cleaning exhibits and preforming water changes. While volunteering in the animal ambassador department, I was also responsible for conducting public encounters with three different reptile species. I would move the animals from their enclosures to an outdoor exhibit right near the zoo's entrance. This allowed the public to get a closer encounter with the animals while I provided information about their life history.

Song Scope Software VolunteerBristol County Agricultural School 2015 - 2017Dighton MaUsing Song Scope Software I listened to recordings from various sites to identify anuran species by advertisement vocalizations. There where four recordings from each day, all lasting 10 minutes. Point counts from 0-3 where used to categorize vocalization intensities and peak intensities where marked for each species during recordings. All data was shared to a wildlife biologist leading to study.

Natural Resource Management MajorBristol County Agricultural School 2014 - 2017Dighton MaAs an NRM major, I had many conservation experiences. I worked in groups head-starting endangered and threatened turtles species. Responsibilities included: using calipers and scales to recorded carapace lengths, and weights of each turtle weekly, data entry, feeding, cleaning tanks and following strict bio security protocols. I gained public speaking experience when presenting the majors captive reptile collections at wildlife events in surrounding communities.
