Wild Spotter is a national citizen science project that invites volunteers to help protect U.S. landscapes from invasive species. Using the free Wild Spotter App, anyone can help identify, map, and protect America’s Wild Places – our country’s national forests, parks, wildlife refuges, recreation areas, and public lands. Volunteers are essential to this effort, creating a nationwide network of participants working to protect these natural areas. Download the FREE Wild Spotter App to register and participate in protecting your favorite Wild Place.
