Submit Photos at our Fixed Point Photo Stations
Anyone with a mobile phone can take photos of Lake Wissota at our Photo Stations! These stations are at a fixed point, meaning they won't ever move, and they help us keep track of algal conditions and other water quality issues. We use these photos to tack our progress over time as we and landowners implement projects within the watershed.
​
Interns, staff, and volunteers go out at least once a month to photograph each site and upload it to a Story Map. Scroll down past the directions map to find the link if you want to see how the lake has changed each month since the stations were established in 2024!
Search for the stand at each location, then follow the instructions to submit your photos.
Each stand has these instructions on or beside it!
