Maynard-based Wildlife Acoustics was nominated for the honor by Representative Kate Hogan, who represents the 3rd Middlesex district.
“I was proud to nominate Wildlife Acoustics for the 6th Annual Manufacturing Awards this year,” said Representative Kate Hogan. “Their story – of natural curiosity that led to the development of world-class professional wildlife acoustic monitoring systems – has caught the attention of so many, from wildlife enthusiasts spending more time in nature to scientists and wildlife professionals needing to monitor a rapidly changing world. Congratulations to Ian and his team on their achievements so far and best wishes for a bright future!”
