Log your wildlife encounters for research

INDIANA—The Department of Natural Resources and Purdue University are seeking volunteers to track wildlife sightings around their homes for a study.

Each chosen volunteer will receive a logbook to report wildlife encounters, related activities—such as feeding or repairing damage—and expenditures. In exchange, volunteers may be eligible for a cash reward.
