A partnership between SREP, the Denver Zoo and the Gore Range Natural Science School
Volunteer Wildlife Trackers needed!
Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project has joined the Denver Zoo and Gore Range Natural Science School in the "Citizen Science" wildlife monitoring project on Vail Pass. Year-round, volunteers monitor the movement of wildlife around and across Interstate 70 at key wildlife tracking stations. Data gathered will be used to help assess the future location of a proposed wildlife overpass. We are looking for dedicated volunteers who can commit to attending a day-long training workshop as well as collect wildlife movement data on an on-going basis. Interested volunteers are required to attend an entire one-day workshop and must be willing to commit to at least eight to ten hours per month. This workshop includes morning classroom instruction followed by afternoon field training. Click here for background information.
Date: TBD During an intensive one-day workshop, a trained wildlife biologist from the Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project will teach volunteers how to monitor the presence of large mammals and collect data. Participants will learn where to search for and document wildlife signs using remotely-trigged digital cameras, hair snares, and wildlife tracks. Volunteers will also learn about the ecology and behavior of local mammals. This workshop includes morning classroom instruction followed by afternoon field training. Throughout the summer volunteers will be assisted by a full-time intern.
