Thank
you for visiting the 2014 E.S.S.R.E. webpage! This summer, 15 interns
participated in E.S.S.R.E.'s three week program to perform a biota survey, or an
environmental "snapshot” of the Roland Park Country School backwoods. The
interns then based their individual group projects on anomalies found in the
biota survey data to investigate the discrepancies in various microbe
populations and chemical levels found throughout the E.S.S.R.E. sites. These
girls represented various schools throughout the Baltimore area, including
Friends School of Baltimore, Notre Dame Preparatory School, Mercy High School,
Institute of Notre Dame, St. Timms, Roland Park Country School, and a
homeschooler to make up a very successful 2014 program! Please explore this
webpage to find the interns’ research papers and 2014 data.

Biota Survey Groups
The interns survey their assigned quadrant through a variety of soil ecology tests. If you want to inquire further about how each group collected results, click to read our steps to a biota survey.
