The T+E Species Search Project aims to coordinate volunteers in surveying for threatened and endangered species in the Bad River Watershed, as well as potential threats to these species and their habitats. All observations from volunteer surveyors will be added to the Bad River Watershed iNaturalist portal. The project builds from earlier work by CLEAN WI and is a collaboration with the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC) and the Superior Rivers Watershed Association (SRWA). In particular, the project encourages and supports community members in surveying downstream for major construction projects, which represent potential threats to these species. Please see the resources below:

Below are three booklets that serve as useful guides for species surveying in particular ecosystems. To print these materials at home and form them into a booklet, save each document as a PDF. In your print settings, select “Two-Sided” and “Short-Edge Binding”. Once printed, stack all pages together and staple, hole-punch, or bind the center to create your own booklet!
