Solitude monitoring is a long-term game. It becomes stronger and more robust each year as quality data observations are added to its database. And, as owners of our public wildlands, we want to ensure federal agencies have the best information possible to inform future management actions. That’s where training comes in. In order to collect quality data that ultimately contributes to sound agency decisions, we need clear, standardized protocols to guide our collective efforts. 

Training to become a solitude monitor is required and simple. You can either visit our Outings to RSVP for in-person training (e.g., a hike, community-based training, or webinar) or tune into the resources and training videos linked below. When you’re done reviewing the materials, please email kcreno@wildwyo.org to sign-up for a monitoring area.
