NPSO iNaturalist Fall ID-a-thon
Dates: November 9-17, 2024
Location: iNaturalist Online event for Flora of Oregon: Vascular Plants · iNaturalist information posted in the Project Journal at Flora of Oregon: Vascular Plants’s Journal · iNaturalist
Welcome to the ID-a-thon for Oregon native plants! During November 9-17 we are asking you to add identifications to as many “Needs ID” plant observations posted in Observations Needs ID · iNaturalist as possible, with a goal of reaching 20,000 identifications. The event will run from 12:00 AM Saturday, November 9, to 11:59 PM Sunday, November 17. You DON’T have to be an expert botanist to participate; in fact, we encourage everyone regardless of your level of botanical expertise to contribute.
One of our goals for this event is to increase the number of people who are identifying Oregon plants on iNaturalist. Therefore, we are going to incorporate some mentoring. If you are new to identifying, and would like to contribute or improve your skills, we will pair you with an experienced identifier, who will help you get started, answer questions, and give feedback. Please sign up at the online event link Flora of Oregon: Vascular Plants’s Journal · iNaturalist
Why is it important? Over 300,000 plant species need your assistance! More details posted on the above links soon.
