‘A powerful visual tool': How your next lake visit can help Alberta environmentalists
A phone can be seen in one of the brackets posted at a photo-capture station at an Alberta Lake. (Supplied) Lacombe County is inviting nature-lovers to snap a pic at three Alberta lakes - all in the name of science. Photo-capture stations are set up at Sylvan Lake, Gull Lake and Lacombe Lake. The pictures will be cataloged and compiled into a time-lapse that will help environmentalists see how the landscape changes throughout the year and seasons. 'This initiative supports sustainable lake management and provides a powerful visual tool for understanding long-term environmental changes,' said county officials in a press release. 'Plus, it gives the public an easy and meaningful way to get involved in local conservation.' The three photo spots are located at: Burns Nature Park at Sylvan Lake; Sandy Point at Gull Lake; and Trans Canada Trail at Lacombe Lake. At each location, there is a special bracket for guests to hold their phones in place and take a photo. A sign posted below the bracket has instructions on how to submit the photo using a QR code. The updated time-lapses can be viewed online: Photos can be seen taken from March 20 at Lacombe Lake, and May 5 at Sylvan Lake and Gull Lake.
