Other general field photos
Within the main folder for each camera location you will also find a folder (or can create one) named
. Upload any relevant photos you take with your own digital camera of the site/route to
site/wildlife tracks sign, etc. Within the "General Field Photos" folder create a folder for each time you
head into the field. (Example "Rainier site visit 8_30_12")
Label Photos as best you can prior to uploading into the folder and include a word document with
additional details such as GPS coordinates of specific photos and route descriptions, etc as needed.
Note that if you have the ability to add GPS coordinates and captions to individual photos metadata,
CNW will be able to access this information.

CWMP Communications Protocol
Due to the potential social and political sensitivity of some species and the importance of this work being
shared in a scientific and thoughtful manner, the Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Project has a
Communications Protocol for all volunteers and staff of the effort.
All photos taken by cameras owned by the CWMP are owned by the non-profit organizations sponsoring
this effort, and we strongly encourage that any cameras not owned by our effort but participating in it
please follow this protocol as well.
