You can be part of a project to help set up and monitor wildlife cameras on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Park staff are hosting a training session for Citizen Science volunteers from 9 a.m.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is gearing up to launch an expanded study using remote wildlife cameras. Last year, our donors provided funding for 30 cameras. Over the next several years, park staff plan to set up cameras at sites along the entire 469-mile route to assess the distribution of wildlife and look at how human activities affect where the wildlife live and roam.
