Biodiversity of the Anacostia River Project

Hey folks!

Again, big thanks to all the observers, members and ID'ers that collaborated during the Anacostia River Virtual Bioblitz! The Anacostia Watershed Society really appreciates your involvement and enthusiasm to document the Anacostia River watershed's species.

Because we would like to observe and identify as much species as possible, we had created the Biodiversity of the Anacostia River project which as of now has 952 species identified by 25 observers. A total of 47 members have joined the project so far. The species number is quite impressive but not so much the people engagement so please join the project here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/biodiversity-of-the-anacostia-river And invite other iNaturalist users (or get new people started with the app!) to join the project and add as much observations as possible!

Some of the groups that could use more observations are insects, arachnids and fungi, all of which are extra active preparing for the winter and/or breeding at this time of the year. Plants being a big group can always have attention, especially now with lots of species blooming!

Happy nature watching/documenting!

Jorge
