Do you hike or ride in San Diego parks and preserves? We need your help!
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Colorado State University need your help in collecting data about how visitors use trails in preserves in the San Diego area. We want to learn about the patterns of trail use, and relate the human activity to wildlife activity in the preserve. You can help us collect data by sharing your route using fitness apps - MapMyFitness or Strava - on your smartphone.
Here's how:
1. Download MapMyFitness (App store/Google Play) or Strava (App store/Google Play) to your smartphone and set up an account.
