What Did We Find Living on Our Campus?: Results of the Wolfpack Citizen Science Challenge

After months of volunteer teams taking camera trap photos of the wildlife living on campus, what animals can we see? What did we learn? At this closing event for the Wolfpack Citizen Science Challenge, Dr. Roland Kays and selected student participants will show off the new wildlife photographs and analyze the patterns of habitat use by animals. By comparing our campus with regional surveys of wild and developed landscapes, we hope to gain a better understanding of how wildlife and humans coexist in North Carolina.

Dr. Roland Kays is the head of the Biodiversity Research Lab at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and a research associate professor at NC State.
