Another welcome to new users, and some helpful guides on how to get started

We’ve had a lot of great engagement with our project already, and are excited to see all of the observations users have shared with us! We have just begun to reach out to new iNaturalist users and conservation partners across Oregon, so another welcome is in order. As our iNaturalist project grows, please share with anyone you know who might be out in Oregon taking pictures or recording sounds of our many wildlife species.

Recently, we put together some helpful guidance documents to help with any questions you may have about joining the project or adding your data to the project. If you’re new to iNaturalist and need help getting started, please visit our guide for new users. If you’re an existing user and are looking for tips on how to add a large number of existing observations to a project, check out this step by step guide to help you easily add batches of up to 200 observations at a time.

We also recently highlighted iNaturalist on our monitoring page on the Oregon Conservation Strategy website. Check out this page to learn about other monitoring efforts in Oregon that help build our understanding of the current status of species and the effectiveness of applied conservation actions, and how the observations you share with us through iNaturalist fit into the monitoring effort.

As you add more wildlife observations in Oregon, don’t forget to add them to our project! You can also set your membership in the project up to allow us to add your observations to the project directly, just visit the guidance documents linked above to learn how.

Thanks, and we're looking forward to seeing what wildlife you see out there
