Eyes on Slocan Lake - Biodiversity Mapping Project

Eyes on Slocan Lake is a new citizen science project developed by the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society
and the Selkirk Geospatial Research Centre to inspire local residents and visitors to explore and capture
sightings of biodiversity within the Slocan Lake watershed of southeastern British Columbia. Eyes on
Slocan Lake was initiated in the summer of 2014, during which people of all ages collected observations
of nature using smartphones and digital cameras, and then uploaded their photos to iNaturalist.org. By
fall 2015 we hope to have documented hundreds of interesting observations throughout our watershed,
to expand our knowledge of the amazing creatures and plants living in and around Slocan Lake.
