Research Project Study Looking For Input on Pet Welfare, Invasive Species Messaging

Original Story: Wisconsin Sea Grant

Wisconsin Sea Grant is doing a research project about messaging related to pet welfare and invasive species. As a college student in Wisconsin we are interested in your opinions about messaging on this topic since you may find yourself in a relatively new living situation.

If you choose to be in the study, we will ask you to complete a survey. The survey will help us learn more about messaging that can both protect our environment and improve pet welfare. You will be asked to review an informational poster and provide feedback on the presented information. The survey will take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

You can skip any survey questions that you do not want to answer. Even if you start the survey, you are not required to complete it. You can stop at any time. The survey is confidential, and no one will be able to link your answers back to you. Please do not include your name or other information that could be used to identify you in the survey responses.

Being in this study is voluntary. If you have questions about the survey, please call Tim Campbell at 608-267-3531 or email him at tim.campbell@wisc.edu.

The Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is an independent nonprofit organization that identifies and advocates effective policies and actions that protect, restore, and sustain water resources in the Fox-Wolf River Basin.

Reporting invasive species is a first step in containing their spread. Maintaining and restoring our waters and landscapes can reduce the impacts even when we don’t have other management options to an invasive species.
