“Wildlife Version of Candid Camera”
By: Gabriel Gadsden
Michigan Applied Wildlife Ecology Camera Trap Study
The program will highlight University of Michigan wildlife ecologists performing their research deep in the wood of the U-M Biological Station, at the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge near Saginaw, at the remote Ives Lake in the Upper Peninsula, and in Detroit. These researchers are conducting the largest camera-trap study ever done of Michigan wildlife, capturing the animals’ images using motion-triggered cameras stationed at strategic locations. The hidden University of Michigan cameras offer a window into the world of wildlife, playing an important role in helping managers understand the current situation of wildlife.
