We\u2019re excited to announce that the Foundation is partnering with Snapshot Wisconsin<\/a> to provide more volunteer opportunities for our members!<\/p>\n

Snapshot Wisconsin is a citizen science project engaging thousands of volunteers, classrooms and nature centers to create a statewide network of trail cameras for monitoring wildlife year-round.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with other organizations and programs like the State Natural Areas Volunteer Program<\/a> and Wisconsin Master Naturalist<\/a>, this new partnership will help us to connect even more of our Foundation members to meaningful volunteer opportunities in Wisconsin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From cottontails to black bears<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Volunteers host trail cameras throughout Wisconsin\u2019s landscapes, capturing photos of critters both big and small. The photos of diverse wildlife captured on Snapshot Wisconsin cameras are hosted online, where they can be classified by volunteers across the globe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Collecting important data for WDNR management <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The data that Snapshot volunteers collect is used to help WDNR make conservation decisions and help us learn more about Wisconsin\u2019s wildlife.<\/p>\n

For example, these collared elk are part of a herd that was reintroduced to the state in 2015. Snapshot Wisconsin has trail cameras in the three main elk reintroduction areas in order to track the herd\u2019s movement and growth. This is just one example of the many important species Snapshot volunteers help monitor.<\/p>\n
