Can't Get Into the Field This Year? Join our Image Analysis Team
Thanks to community scientists like you, we are nearly up to date with data entry after six years of continuous monitoring! However, we still have all kinds of photos to go through from the previous season! Whether or not you can join us in the field, consider becoming an Image Analysis volunteer to tag and identify wildlife from our cameras. This is the work that turns photos into usable data!
Here are just a couple of photos from recent uploads:
We always need help with image analysis, and it is what allows us to create the invaluable datasets we use for monitoring wildlife across Utah. If you have friends or family in other regions who want to support your work on this project, this is a great way to get involved at a distance, and from your own home!
