Message from the researcher
Understanding ecological change is the bedrock of wildlands management. Research and monitoring provide crucial windows into the state of biodiversity, and how to effectively protect it. Camera trapping is literally a window into life on the ground!
StebbinsCameraTrapsAbout Snapshot Stebbins
The Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve (SCCR) is the only one of over 40 reserves in the University of California Natural Reserve System's (NRS) protected area network that has public access. Due to its convenient geographic location, spectacular biodiversity and rugged wilderness character, some 65,000 people hike SCCR's nine miles of hiking trail each year. As part of the NRS' mission to facilitate research in a wildland setting, the Stebbins Camera Trap program forms part of the reserve's Citizen Science program to monitor biodiversity. This project focuses on categorizing images taken from camera traps placed in high and low-use areas within the reserve. The central goal is to categorize imagery based on what wildlife is captured in the photo. Imagery will be used for research and K-12 education purposes, as well as for advertising, interpretation and public outreach by reserve staff.
