Since 2015, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has maintained a network of some 2,500 trail cameras equipped with motion detectors to discreetly observe wildlife across the state. The project, called Snapshot Wisconsin, recently celebrated not only its tenth anniversary, but also the 100 millionth photo snapped during that time. A hundred million photos is a lot to classify, and the DNR is looking for volunteers to help. Christine Anhalt-Depies, Project Leader for the Wisconsin DNR Snapshot Wisconsin project stopped by the Monday 8 O’Clock Buzz to tell us more.
