What to Expect as a Volunteer
Cycling, walking, or running? We need you!
Volunteers use smartphones to photograph and mark GPS locations of roadkill observations during human-powered exploration of roads through any landscape. After submitting an application to participate, a volunteer must learn the recording protocols and demonstrate knowledge of them by passing an online quiz.
