Use loadforms to submit wildlife information to the Fisheries and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS).
The information you collect is an important contribution to the knowledge base for fisheries and wildlife management.
Collected data are to be entered into a Fisheries and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) loadform (Microsoft Excel workbook) according to the type of survey.

Please download a new loadform for every new submission as the loadforms are continually being updated. You will also avoid problems like corrupting the worksheets by copying over old data or unintentionally submitting already previously submitted data.
FWMIS also stores images and documents which provides context and enhances the data collected.

Accommodates observations collected under a non-structured methodology, or by 'chance'. The observations are often collected with no adherence to time or area limitations.
Examples of random observation surveys are backyard birders and naturalists with a keen interest in local fauna. Conversely, incidental observations are secondary observations collected in association with a primary survey and should be included with the primary survey.
