Goodbye Wisconsin NatureMappers!

NatureMappers, we are very sad to tell you that Wisconsin NatureMapping is coming to an end. The site has reached a point where it needs some major upgrades and maintenance and that is something that Beaver Creek Reserve and Wisconsin DNR can no longer provide. Many of you have been dedicated users through the years and we appreciate your support. We want to give you an opportunity to download your own data, so the website will not officially shut down until July 1, 2013. Please do not add any new data! The Wisconsin DNR has downloaded all of the entered wildlife sightings since the start of Wisconsin NatureMapping. This data will be stored forfuture wildlife management needs. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful wildlife sightings and contributing to the understanding and management of the wildlife in Wisconsin.

Don’t stop recording your wildlife observations!

Wisconsin NatureMapping is gone, but you have other options. Please enter your data in the following databases:

• BIRDS: Wisconsin eBird
• TURTLES: Wisconsin Turtle Conservation Program
• BUTTERFLIES: Wisconsin Butterflies
