Photo Monitoring

Nature changes over time. Whether it’s something natural like a shifting riverbed, or something done by humans like planting trees, photo monitoring helps us see the changes in habitat at our preserves.

It’s easy to help! Visit the photo monitoring stations at Bayshore Preserve. You can use our self-guided interpretive Google Map to locate each photo station or discover them on your own while walking the trails. Look for signs like this:

Place your phone in the bracket at photo monitoring stations and take a photo in landscape orientation. Send us your photos using the form below. Your photo will then be added to a collection of photos to create a time-lapse for each point.

Over time, the collection of photos will tell the beautiful story of ecological restoration and ecosystem changes at CLT preserves. Click here to see the time-lapse photos.
