Rehousing Museum Specimens

Zion National Park wildlife professionals refer to and study the museum collection to improve resource management of birds and wildlife in the park. Other researchers can also conduct research on the collection with an approved research permit. All specimens that result from research conducted in the park, in compliance with the permit, belong to the National Park Service. They have to be accessioned into the park museum collection together with associated field notes and reports after the initial research has been conducted.
