A fundraising campaign is underway in Spanish Fork to help Mike restore wildlife cameras following a reckless fire that destroyed his equipment. The fundraiser, organized by Eddie Clayson, seeks to replace tools used to monitor animals such as cougars, bobcats, coyotes, deer, elk, badgers, and ringtailed cats on public lands.
According to the fundraiser description, a recent reckless fire in the area destroyed all of Clayson's cameras, while the remaining cameras belonging to Mike were also being burned during the writing of the appeal. The fire has impacted local animal habitats and threatened nearby homes and cabins.
Mike has spent years exploring the outdoors and utilizing cameras to capture wildlife. His work includes maintaining over 40 cameras at once, repairing fences, bringing water to guzzlers, and assisting in the restoration of public lands.
The campaign aims to raise $2,000 to ensure Mike can continue his conservation work and connection with nature. As of the report, 14 donors have contributed toward the goal.
