Wildlife trail camera workshop held in Bend
Ever wonder what wild animals are like in their natural habitat when no one is around? Thanks to wildlife trail cameras, we now have a glimpse into that world. A workshop at Bend’s Deschutes Public Library Downtown is teaching all about it.
There are an abundance of wild animals in Central Oregon, including black bears, mountain lions, western rattlesnakes and gray wolves. However, since many of these animals can be dangerous up close, the best way to study them may be via an unmanned, motion-sensitive camera that can be set up overnight somewhere and picked back up later. This is exactly what wildlife trail cameras do, using photos and video to capture the animals without people present.
The Observing Wildlife through Trail Cameras workshop and presentation will include a host of tips for using the technology. There will also be information about how people can become involved as citizen scientists in the community by way of camera-trapping programs. The non-profit Think Wild Co. is organizing the workshop.
Educational events like these may choose to use flyer printing for low-cost promotion or poster printing to identify the venue for patrons.
Think Wild’s Observing Wildlife through Trail Cameras event is happening at the Deschutes Public Library Downtown in the Brooks Meeting Room at 601 NW Wall St. in Bend on March 2 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
