Portland’s Forest Park is the largest urban forest in the United States and home to the unique flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest, yet our understanding of its biodiversity, especially in disturbed areas, is incomplete. Join iDigBio (Integrated Digitized Biocollections) as we seek to fill this knowledge gap. To do this, we'll be collecting voucher specimens and their data along with observational records and getting your input, as ecologists, on what information is critical to capture to make these data fruitful for your research.
The majority of the observations for this project will logged during the iDigBio-sponsored workshop on August 5, 2017, just prior to the start of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) conference.
