Virginia Working Landscapes’ Biodiversity Technician, Christopher Rademacher, supports the program’s annual avian point count surveys, which are primarily conducted on private working lands in the Northern Piedmont and Shenandoah Valley regions of Virginia. Christopher supports our Survey Coordinator with organizing and conducting avian point counts on private lands, volunteer training and recruiting, and promoting bird conservation through various outreach events and field walks. Christopher also helps curate our biodiversity database, assisting with data analysis and interpretation, and develops avian-focused educational resources for VWL’s community scientists.

Christopher started with VWL as an intern and transitioned to staff. He received his BSc in Organismal Biology from Christopher Newport University.
