What stalks the Blue Ridge Parkway? Through a project funded by the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation the National Park Service is trying to determine just that! Using motion sensor cameras, park biologists, and a cadre of “citizen scientists” are setting up “camera traps” at locations throughout the 470-mile route of the Blue Ridge Parkway in order to survey medium and large-sized mammals.
