Webinars for the fall 2026/winter 2027 are currently being planned by our Education Committee, with the first one beginning in November.
WildTrax is an online platform where users can store, manage, process and share their acoustic and camera trap data. This talk will go over how WildTrax works to store and manage your data and metadata, then it will get into details of how to process your ARU and camera trap data to identify the species present in your recordings and photos. It will touch on how classifiers (MegaDetector, BirdNET, HawkEars) are built into WildTrax to make your processing more efficient. And it will present the options for sharing your data outside your organization and accessing it via the wildRtrax package for R.

Kevin Kelly is the Acoustic Technologist with WildTrax. His work involves acoustic processing, with an interest in classifier aided processing methods, and support and development of WildTrax functions for acoustic users.

Jack Creeggan is the Wildlife Camera and Research Coordinator with Wildtrax. His work involves assisting users with camera-side support questions, and contributing to the development of the platform.
