Today's the Day!
EXCITING NEWS!
Today is the day that you can virtually dive right in to the wonderful world of
Cedar Creek!
Our first batch of images are now LIVE, ready for YOU to make all
sorts of discoveries! Our researchers are super excited to start hacking away
at our massive backlog of data. We’ve got a whole "year in the life" of Cedar
Creek to look through, and as soon as we get these images processed, we can
start answering exciting questions about what’s going on in these animal
communities. Remember – volunteers like you have made news-worthy discoveries
by looking at images like these, even resulting in scientific publications for
some citizen scientists! We are so excited to see what you find, and don’t
forget to hashtag...

Bobcats are so rare at Cedar Creek, we didn’t even include them on our
species list – to find one is a BIG DEAL!
… and anything else you’d like us
to take a look at! We’ll be constantly updating our social media and looking for
the most exciting pictures you find to post on our Instagram and Facebook
pages. We’ll let the world know you discovered something cool! We’re also going to
post the first image loved, first comment commented, most
interesting find, and best hashtags on all our platforms. Don’t forget, if you have any
questions for our research crew, jump on the discussion board and we’re happy
to chat with you about what you’re seeing! Have fun exploring our northern
temperate wilderness and don’t forget to keep coming back to help our
researchers get the data they need to increase our understanding of the natural
world! Your work matters, and we couldn't do it without you! Happy classifying!
