Building a DIY Wildlife Monitoring System for our 100-Acre Habitat Restoration

Explore our Badgerton Wildlife Map here: https://badgerton.com/wildlife-map/wi... At Badgerton, we wanted to know if our restoration of a native Wisconsin landscape was working—but the plants are only half the story. We need to measure the biodiversity in the wildlife as well. But I don’t have a science background. Is setting up my own biodiversity monitoring system on 100 acres something I could do? In this video you’ll hear all about the ups and downs of installing a wildlife monitoring system at Badgerton Prairie and you’ll get to see exactly what we did with all the data we collected. ____________________________ If you want to learn more details about our gear, setup, data processing and more, read our 4-part Listening to the Land article series here: https://badgerton.substack.com/p/list...
