Hi @friel! Any chance that this BioBlitz had its own project? I can't find one. I'm trying to account for all of the Geographic Alliance BioBlitzes on iNaturalist. Thanks!
Hi Carrie,
I did not attend this bioblitz, and don't think they had an iNaturalist project for it. You might try emailing Dr. Becky Barlow, rjb0003@aces.edu to confirm this.
Thanks,
John
