Canoeing on the Saranac Lakes in the Adirondacks
Hey! My name is Seth Lutter and I’m from the Finger Lakes region of New York State. I am a rising junior majoring in Natural Resources at Cornell University. I love sailing, biology, and being outdoors!
At Hubbard Brook I am working with Claire Bayer, a first year PhD student who is studying salamander food webs using simulated streambeds. I plan on observing the behavior of Two Lined salamander larvae in the presence and absence of their occasional predator, the larger Spring salamander. Since the salamanders are active at night, I might become a bit nocturnal by the end of the summer. So far I am having a great time hanging out with the other interns and residents at Pleasant View Farm. I hope to spend my time off hiking and getting Russell to teach me how to climb!
