Wisconsin Nature Mapping -- Current Projects

Great Lakes Worm Watch The Great Lakes Worm Watch project is coordinated by Dr. Cindy Hale at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The mission of the program is to increase public understanding and appreciation of the role of exotic earthworms in ecosystem change across the Great Lakes region. To learn more about earthworms, check out the Great Lakes Worm Watch website at www.greatlakeswormwatch.org.
Garlic Mustard Survey The garlic mustard monitoring project is an effort to get teachers, students, and citizens involved in locating and controlling garlic mustard at school forests and other sites throughout the state. The project involves collecting information on the location and extent of garlic mustard infestation in school forest and other sites then entering the data into a special project database on the the Wisconsin NatureMapping website. If interested in participating, please contact Jeremy Solin, Wisconsin School Forest Education Specialist at 715-346-4907 or jsolin@uwsp.edu.
Frog and Toad Survey The Beaver Creek Reserve Citizen Science program has trained participants to conduct frog and toad surveys. Participants spent three evenings between April and July to listen for frog and toad calls and reported their findings on the Wisconsin NatureMapping website. The annual survey began in 2004.
Squirrel Color Variations Planned for the future
