Glacier National Park Mountain Goat and Bighorn Sheep Citizen Science
This form and associated feature layer contains points collected by Glacier National Park (Montana) Citizen Science volunteers and staff to document mountain goat and bighorn sheep detections and distribution from 2022- present. This Citizen Science form enables volunteers and park staff to record mountain goat and bighorn sheep population data while in the field. It includes questions regarding survey conditions (weather, date, number of people present, etc.), document a geopoint for observer location as well as sheep and goat location, equipment used, other wildlife seen in survey areas, and an exit page inquiring about time to complete survey and hiking distance. This survey is intended for use within Glacier National Park, Montana. This project was created using Survey123 and is managed by the Glacier National Park Citizen Science team in the Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center. The resulting data from submitted surveys is used to compile final reports regarding mountain goat and bighorn sheep baseline population estimates, population trends, and geographic distribution. Data is collected by citizen science volunteers and student and service groups. Data is QA/QC’d by Glacier National Park Citizen Science staff and backed up monthly.
Basic purpose: survey for baseline population, estimate, trend monitoring, and distribution.
Dataset Format: form and feature layer
Time period: data collected between 2022 to present.
