Herps of New York State

This project was created as a place in I-Naturalist to compile records from New York State. I have been uploading many of my observations and noticed no place for these New York records. Since the New York State Amphibian and Reptile Atlas Project ended (1990 - 1999) there has been no concerted effort to compile data to understand current ranges that I am aware of. It also gives observers a way to get a positive ID for herps that they are not sure of and to have a venue for citizen science contributions that will be peer reviewed once I find a few curators to assist with the project.
