Over 4,300 volunteers have been trained to use wildlife cameras as part of the project, and they have analyzed more than one million images. This has allowed the park to document the recovery of various mammal species, including both common and rare species. The data gathered through this project is contributing to long-term ecological monitoring efforts.
Now in its sixth year, the Woolsey Fire Recovery Camera Project continues to engage the public and highlight the importance of community science in post-fire wildlife research. The project also hosts educational events and forms partnerships to further involve the community in its efforts. The award recognizes the significant contributions of the volunteers and the innovative approach to wildlife recovery monitoring.
