Neighbors to Nature: Cache Creek StudyAbout Neighbors to Nature: Cache Creek Study
The goal of the Neighbors to Nature: Cache Creek Study is to use citizen science to improve management decisions in the most heavily used portion of the Cache Creek area near Jackson, Wyoming. The project is supported by a partnership between the U.S. Forest Service, Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation, Friends of Pathways and The Nature Conservancy in Wyoming. One aspect of the study, Nature Mapping Jackson Hole, focuses on collecting data on the presence of wildlife using the observations of people using the area for recreation. To increase the effectiveness of Nature Mapping in Cache Creek, JHWF and The Nature Conservancy have placed multiple wildlife cameras throughout the study region in areas that are more difficult for our on-the-ground volunteers to visit frequently.
This is where you come in! We need you to help us comb through the thousands of images captured on our cameras and collect the data they provide. You may see grizzlies, mountain lions and wolves, so keep your eyes peeled!
The information will be analyzed by scientists at The Nature Conservancy, who are leading the research component of the project. By devoting as little or as much of your time as you like, you’ll be providing critical data to the Bridger-Teton National Forest that will benefit both people and wildlife.
