Wildlife Monitoring Cameras Servicing

Volunteers are needed to service wildlife cameras that are in and near the Woodbury Desert Study Area of the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area as we collect data on Mojave desert tortoises. Tasks include replacing data cards and batteries, checking camera alignment and stability, and trimming vegetation. Each pair of workers will hike to 3-5 camera locations for up to 1 mile over uneven and sometimes rugged terrain. You will be navigating to and documenting locations with the Avenza maps phone app. Project time including driving time is estimated to take about 4 hours. Expect to spend at least 3 hours in the direct sun. Start time may be adjusted earlier as the weather warms. Sign up at this link https://forms.gle/2NtVMwwnneEPzzXV7

Where to Meet – Project volunteers will meet and leave from the Fire Lake/Ivins Reservoir parking lot closest to Old Hwy 91 or from the Terrible’s/Chevron near I-15 and Sun River Pkwy. We will carpool but it may require driving your vehicle about 65 miles roundtrip from the St George area; up to 5 miles will be over a graded dirt road off of old Highway 91.
