Santa Margarita Ranch Wildlife Captures ~ From 2011 to the present
These are photos taken by LATO wildlife cameras deployed (three sites) in ~ near the Learning Among the Oaks trail area on private property of the Santa Margarita Ranch. This project was established in 2011 through a partnership between Santa Margarita Ranch owners, the Learning Among the Oaks Program and the Cal Poly Biological Sciences Department. Thanks to Santa Margarita Ranch owners Karl Wittstrom, Doug Filipponi, and Rob Rossi for their cooperation and support and to Dr. John Perrine, Cal Poly Biological Sciences Department, for providing technical guidance. Cal Poly alumna Christina McAdams set up the project in fulfillment of her Senior Project requirements. One of the primary goals is to engage Santa Margarita School students and their families in wildlife studies. We've done that! Kids, teachers and families are excited to see and learn about the wildlife living in the LATO trail area. Additional thanks to the LATO wildlife camera volunteer teams, the San Luis Obispo County Fish and Game Fines Committee and the Arroyo Grande Sportsman's Club.
