Wildlife Observer Network
This website provides an infrastructure for wildlife camera operators to manage their projects. Track where your cameras are in the field, upload wildlife photos and assign them to a geographic location, and assemble the data portrayed in the photos into one spot, making it easy to download for further analysis. Take a look around this website, as you should find all that you need, but don't hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.
The next ICOET will be especially exciting because it will include an in-person meeting in Burlington, VT. The conference will be held in June, 2023 and will be a hybrid event, allowing participation virtually and in-person. So, get your ideas together and whether you attend in-person or through your computer, plan for an exciting multi-media event: https://icoet.net.
ICOET had another record-breaking conference in September, 2021, this time virtually. There were of course many presentations about studies using camera traps and image analysis. For more information about the conference, go here: https://icoet.net/icoet_2021.

Cache Creek Conservancy Nature PreserveThe Cache Creek Conservancy manages a Nature Preserve in Woodland, CA. There are many species of animals here seasonally and year round and we hope to record and catalogue these animals, especially the ones that appear at night when the preserve is closed. |

SR 50 ConnectivityState Route 50 is a major east-west transportation corridor across the Sierra Nevada. This project examines successful animal movement through structures under SR50 that were intentionally built for wildlife, or that were built for some other reason (e.g., a river crossing). |

US 89 Kanab Paunsaugunt ProjectThe Paunsaugunt mule deer herd is one of the most treasured mule deer herds in the western U.S. They spend their summers in Southern Utah, and migrate across US 89 to the borderlands of Utah and Arizona. In 2013 UDOT and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) worked together with multiple partners to create 12.5 miles of wildlife exclusion fencing and three new wildlife crossing culverts on US 89 East of Kanab Utah in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The goal of the project |

Beartracker Wildlife Tracking ProjectBeartracker Wildlife Tracking Project has many cameras set up to monitor wildlife in the northern California area. This area is rich in wildlife species diversity. Not only is the area home to the tallest trees in the world, but plenty of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians also inhabit these forests. This project aims to survey the diversity of wildlife found in this area and make the data available to the public. |

Black's Wildlife CamerasOur cameras are set to photograph wildlife on our small ranch at altitudes ranging from 1700 - 2100 ft . However, we are bordered on one side by a 1,000 acre conservation easement and are among thousands of acres of range land in the southern Sierra Nevada foothills and mountains . We are in a broad canyon in the drainage of the north fork of the Tule River - abutting NPS land and not far from the Golden trout wilderness. |

Interstate 280 Wildlife Connectivity Research ProjectInterstate 280 is a busy highway on the San Francisco Peninsula. It is also adjacent to wild open spaces for about 20 miles. This means that the native wildlife that live in these wild areas sometimes attempt to cross the highway. When they cross the surface, they usually get hit by a car. This project provides access to wildlife cameras placed at under-crossings that might provide wildlife with a safe way to cross the highway, underneath. |
