A statewide network of trail cameras managed by volunteers has captured 100 million photos of Wisconsin wildlife over the past 10 years as part of the DNR's Snapshot Wisconsin project.

The collection features intimate glimpses of the state's diverse wildlife, including elk in Ashland County, deer and turkeys sharing space in Iowa County, bears climbing trees in Portage County, and turkeys in Sheboygan County.

To celebrate the project's 10th anniversary and the milestone of 100 million photos, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has released a special collection featuring wildlife photos from each county across the state.

The photos provide researchers and wildlife enthusiasts with valuable insights into animal behavior and population patterns throughout Wisconsin's varied landscapes. Learn more about the project at zooniverse.org.
