In the Pacific Northwest of the United States a program called Nature mapping collects data by educating the public and having them pool their data in a citizen science application. Data can be collected in the field using a handheld palm pilot and GPS system that streamlines the collection process. This free program is called CyberTracker. In order to make sure that data is reliable, a tracker evaluation system has been put in place through the Cybertracker organization.
Training programs
Bird tracks can be difficult for the beginner to distinguish. There are many training programs to help people learn to distinguish them, including the Wilderness Awareness school's tracking intensive, Tom Brown's Tracker School, Vermont Wilderness School and Keeping Track to name just a few.
