About ATRI

The Aquatic and Terrestrial Resources Inventory (ATRI) is a program within the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources that collects inventory and monitoring data from citizens in order to better understand Wisconsin's natural resources. Data are obtained through individual projects administered through our Citizen-based Monitoring Network as well as from submissions to ongoing Statewide Surveys.
