James K. Herbert Wetland Prairie Preserve

The purpose of this project is to make it easier for visitors to find and identify the various plants, animals, and fungi that can be seen at James K. Herbert Wetland Prairie Preserve.

In addition to improving the visitor experience, this project will also provide the Conservation Department at Sequoia Riverlands Trust with valuable scientific data (in the form of the photos and notes that are input into iNaturalist). This data can be used to help assess both the population of specific species as well as the biodiversity of the preserve and the health of the ecosystems that are present at the preserve. This is extremely important, as our Conservation Department has over 20,000 acres to monitor and assess as well as over 4,000 acres to manage directly, and therefore can use your help accomplishing these formidable tasks. By posting pictures of different species as well as notes about your observations, you are helping Sequoia Riverlands Trust to better understand our preserves and the plants, animals, and fungi that inhabit them. less ↑
