Collecting photographs of the Harris Creek Sitka spruce, a Sitka spruce found on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

This project has been collected into an umbrella project to see which tree is most photographed: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/most-photographed-trees-of-the-world

Why? What is the purpose? My motives are a mystery, even to myself. However, I suspect there are two reasons.

1) raise awareness about conservation

2) I think it's funny to have a project dedicated to multiple observations of the same individual organism less ↑
