Who Goes There?

Trail cameras are a great way to see who is wandering around at night. Snapshot Wisconsin is a statewide network of trail cameras that provides data for wildlife management. If you have 10+ acres of land, you can apply to volunteer as a trail camera host! Or you can help classify photos at Zooniverse.org. Either way, you never know what you’ll see…
