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.
All photos taken by cameras and retrieved by teams are only released to people
outside the program by one of the three program sponsor organizations or by an
agency affiliated with our Advisory Council. Volunteers are not to share their
results with anyone outside the program directly.
Photos gathered off of a camera are sent in per the protocol above for review
and decisions about communicating.
If you feel you have captured a photo of your target species, or a unique photo
that interests you – you can upload it to Google Drive and alert our staff to view
OR email it directly to our staff. Photos can be emailed simultaneously to
aleah@conservationnw.org (to ensure that even if one of us is on vacation they
are viewed).
Selected photos are shared on our website, and results reported monthly in our
volunteer e-newsletter. Requests for any photographs can be made through our
program to aleah@conservationnw.org
Photos that need further identification or discussion are taken to our Advisory
Council prior to any wider release, and we will notify you of the discussion and
outcome.
Any interaction with the media based on the results of a camera is decided upon
by the host non-profit organizations, and shared with the Advisory Council.
An annual report is prepared at the close of each season that will report on all
results, and at that time all results, with the exception of details of camera
locations, are public knowledge.
If any member of the press approaches you about the program, please re-direct them to
our offices and staff.
