Wasatch Wildlife Watch Updates & Volunteer Resources
A successfully placed wildlife camera.
Thank you for all your hard work getting wildlife cameras installed. We currently have 99 active cameras along the Wasatch—which is more than ever before!
We've included a few updates and resources to help you tackle the next few weeks. Don't forget to let Austin know today (May 25) if you have checked or are planning to check your camera.
Informational Flyer
As you're out checking your camera, you may come across people who are curious what you're doing or want to know more about the project. We've created a project flyer to help make those situations simple. It describes Wasatch Wildlife Watch and provides helpful contact information.
Volunteer Resources
Wasatch Wildlife Watch project page - Visit for updates throughout the season
eMammal Page - Visit for materials to print off, such as the Site Information Placard or photo uploading instructions
Training Video Playlist - Watch to brush up on project methods
To continue monitoring your camera through the fall-winter season (optional), sign up on our Fall-Winter Monitoring Signup Sheet. Additionally, if you're interested in logging Dedicated Hunter hours into the program, please email Mary at mary@wildutahproject.org.
Don't forget that we'll need lots of help analyzing image data in the fall. If you have friends or family who would like to be involved, encourage them to visit our website and sign up to receive more information.
Please don't hesitate to contact Austin Green with any questions. He can be reached at austin.m.green2015@gmail.com or 801-577-6548.
Poaching Information
Though we hope it doesn't happen, there's always a chance that you may encounter poaching, whether by witnessing it or coming across evidence.
Please do not confront the individual, and make sure to follow UDNR guidelines. Some reporting options include calling 1-800-662-DEER (3337) (for an immediate response to in-progress wildlife violations) or filling out the online report.
Coming Soon: Image Analysis Training and Lunch & Learn

We'll be sending out a training video on analyzing wildlife image data in early June. This is a completely optional part of the project. But if you would like to volunteer to analyze your camera's images, keep an eye out for that email.
Additionally, we're planning a mid-season informational Wildlife Habitat Connectivity presentation for July. Stay tuned for details!
Thank You
Thank you for everything you do for the conservation of native wildlife in the Wasatch. This landscape-scale project wouldn't be possible without volunteers like you.
To support this and other projects focused on science-based conservation, please consider making a gift today.
