With this pilot project, we aim to:
All observations submitted to this iNaturalist project will help us with aims 3 and 4!

Hey, I'm giving a talk about iNaturalist on Monday (https://gmnhfriends.org/turtle-pond-talks). I plan on showing examples of how the community can engage in helpful science. I'll promote this!
Thank you, @rachelperezudell !
