 Wrangell-based T3 Alliance students installed a remote live-stream camera system at
the Anan Wildlife Observatory in the Tongass National Forest, enabling viewers to
see black and brown bears fishing for salmon. This project, supported by the U.S.
Forest Service, involved high school students using skills from the T3 Alaska program.
The system is powered by solar energy and uses Starlink for video feed. Explore.org
hosts the stream, and the project is set for a five-year expansion plan. The live
stream began on July 24. Read more about the students' work to install the live-stream system.
