The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and American Conservation Experience (ACE) partnered to develop an electronic citizen-science based monitoring program for Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs). This application is called WildSNAP. It is available to members of the public who complete this training.
A special designation that applies to lands managed to protect and prevent impairment of wilderness characteristics until Congress designates the WSA as wilderness or directs BLM to manage the area for other multiple uses.
A report is sent to the local BLM office and becomes part of the WSA's permanent file. Information will be used to support enforcement or restoration efforts as appropriate when issues are discovered.
If you are interested in citizen science and you wish to support the BLM by monitoring WSAs you can begin by completing the WildSNAP Volunteer Training.
