student engagement

Undergraduate students play an important role in the St. Louis Wildlife Project. Students are involved in set-up and maintenance of equipment in the field, as well as in building our datasets through the identification of wildlife from camera trap images.

At Washington University in St. Louis, student volunteers from the Tyson Conservation Corps contribute to the St. Louis Wildlife Project, among other conservation and restoration initiatives. Undergraduate students from the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy, including those in the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, are also integral to maintaining the project.

curriculum

Along with providing opportunities for undergraduate involvement, the St. Louis Wildlife Project presents an exciting educational opportunity for students in the metro area, from kindergarten through the college level. The St. Louis Wildlife Project complements curriculum in urban ecology and biodiversity, along with independent research projects by students. Educational materials are currently under development.
