City Nature Challenge 2024: Help Identify This Year's Observations!

Good morning,

I’ve tagged you in this post because you are a top identifier in the Southwest Virginia area. We’re hoping you’ll participate in this year’s City Nature Challenge by helping go through the "Needs ID" observations for the Southwest Virginia project by May 5. Over 68% of our observations still need an ID! It is top iNat identifiers like you that will help increase our number of species recorded and ensure that we have high-quality data.

Have observations that you haven't uploaded? It's not too late! You can still post observations made within the April 26-29 timeframe and have them count toward the challenge until May 5.

You can find the City Nature Challenge: Southwest Virginia iNaturalist project here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2024-southwest-virginia

I also encourage you to help identify species all over the state! Check out other City Nature Challenge Projects in Virginia below.
