The Ozaukee Washington Land Trust (OWLT) began wildlife monitoring in 2004, as a means of assessing the success of habitat restorations, and identifying important wildlife resources for OWLT habitat management and acquisition and protection planning. In 2015 we continued herptile, crayfish and bird monitoring at several OWLT properties.
