Learn to Classify Wildlife Camera Photos
Saturday, January 27th, 2023
10 am - 1 pm at our downtown office
Leader: Benjamin Bravo
Visit our preserves and view wildlife from the comfort of the LandPaths' office as a Community Scientist!
Learn how to classify wildlife photos recorded at LandPaths' Bohemia Ecological Preserve and Oceansong-Myers preserve! Since 2014, LandPaths volunteers and staff have participated in a Wildlife Camera Program. Help us develop an understanding of the animals present at LandPaths' preserves while connecting people to land!
After attending this informative training, you'll be ready to play an active role as a volunteer, either at home or in the LandPaths office, helping to classify new photos and videos captured on our wildlife cameras. You'll also get a chance to see some great wildlife photos! Maybe even an Elk!
