Camera Trap Chronicles: A Photo Exhibition of Tassie Wildlife

The Tasmanian Land Conservancy (TLC) and our WildTracker program warmly invite you to our first camera trap photo exhibition. Captured by WildTracker citizen scientists and landholders from across the state, these photos reveal the hidden lives of our special wildlife.

Unlike traditional photo exhibitions, where composition and lighting are key, the exhibition will showcase camera trap photos that tell compelling, beautiful and humorous stories of nature and science. Each photo will be accompanied by the entrant’s account of their personal connection with the animal subject along with scientific insights into the species and behaviours depicted.  Participants of the WildTracker citizen science program, and Tasmanian camera trap enthusiasts more broadly, are invited to submit entries for the exhibition. The best images will be selected for display, with winners in each theme announced on opening night. WildTracker’s citizen scientists are recording important discoveries including sightings of threatened species from unrecorded locations and previously undocumented behaviours. Join us for the opening nights, where you can help select the People’s Choice and enjoy cheese and wine.
