Our Citizen Wildlife Monitoring
Project volunteers have captured some
amazing photos this past year, from elk
to black bears, coyotes and cougars.
But these are more than just pretty
pictures—these images contain impor-
tant scientific information. Our camera
teams work in sync with state, federal
and university biologists from around our region to expand
the reach of their research. Our cameras document the pres-
ence of rare wolves and wolverines and seek elusive Canada
lynx and North Cascades grizzly bears. And this monitoring
effort informs and guides many of our conservation programs.
Whether it's the first photos of wolf pups in Washington in
nearly a century or a new wolverine in the Central Cascades,
our teams get results. And awesome photographs too.
