Chuck Lubelczyk started crawling through the woods at the Wells Reserve during his first field season with Maine Medical Center in 1994. Since then, he has work on studies involving birds, mice, deer, ticks, mosquitoes and invasives over many acres at the WNERR and Rachel Carson Refuge. He is proud to assist with carrying on the work of one of his mentors, June Ficker, who ran the bird banding program from 1989 to 2015.
