I signed up for the CNC 2024 TO & GTA and I filled out the survey. How do I get added to the project (like I did in 2022 and 2023) in my iNat account so I can see and ID postings to this project?

You can go on the page: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2024-toronto-and-gta and press the join button on the banner. Then some guidelines will appear. You can agree with them and scroll down. At the bottom of the page will be the join button. Then you are in!

Thanks a lot @iqcreaturehero786 for responding.
I finally figured it out last evening. It seemed harder to complete this year for some reason. Still working on completing the submissions. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
