Meet Another Amphibian Project Curator

Keith Douville is a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Biologist who has spent 5 of the last 10 years with WDFW’s Aquatic Research Group, working throughout Western Washington on amphibian-focused projects. Keith has also worked with beaver restoration in the North Cascades and was an Americorps volunteer for 2 years in Washington. Keith says,
"I find this project beneficial because of the quantity of data we otherwise would not see and the opportunity that it provides for citizen scientists to contribute. I think the iNaturalist platform will be a positive step in combining all our efforts observing the amphibians this spring!"
Thanks Keith, for your time and enthusiasm!

Hope you all are enjoying some of that early spring weather. Happy surveying!

Amphibian observations growing in King County by leaps and bounds!

Hello!

Thanks so much to all the teams who have been submitting so many wonderful observations to iNaturalist! I'm delighted to share that we are growing the number of King County amphibian findings on iNaturalist in a major way. In just two months, our Amphibian Monitoring teams have contributed:
--97 of the 535 observations of amphibians in King County
--7 of the 9 species in King County that have been submitted to iNaturalist

Keep up the amazing work!
