Utilizing Crowdsourced Georeferenced Photography for Identification and Prioritization of Areas for Scenic Conservation

This paper discusses a method of identifying and prioritizing areas for scenic conservation using crowdsourced georeferenced photos. Building on previous studies, photos crowdsourced from visitors and on-line digital repositories are a powerful and appropriate tool for identifying areas of scenic interest. Given the limited resources available for conservation planning in some regions, collecting a wide range of views helps prioritization of conservation efforts. The Loyalsock hiking trail in North-Central Penn­sylvania serves as a case study for implementation of this method.
