Ecological Scent-Detection Dogs

About the Dogs

Terra Verde provides ecological scent-detection dog services for wildlife surveys. Two highly trained detection dogs are available for contract through Robyn Powers, handler and owner of the dogs and Senior Wildlife Biologist with Terra Verde. The detection dogs have nearly eight years of experience surveying for San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) scat and bird and bat fatalities.

Detection dog surveys are non-invasive and provide a less biased, efficient, and effective alternative to standard surveys for rare or cryptic species.

What we do

We discovered a new species

Former employee Kristen Nelson identified a new botanical species of spineflower growing in the serpentine soil while inventorying species for the city of San Luis Obispo’s Irish Hills Natural Reserve. The spineflower, Chorizanthe aphanantha or “Irish Hills spineflower,” was accepted by Madroño, the peer-reviewed, scientific journal of the California Botanical Society. And, it will soon be recommended for inclusion as one of California’s most rare plants.
