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...
