NC campus BioBlitz this week
Hello friends and followers!
It's that time again: The next NC inter-campus Nature Challenge is happening this coming week. Appalachian State University, UNC Greensboro, and UNC Wilmington will be facing off against each other again to see whose students can find the most wildlife on campus during the week.
Anyone can participate, either as an observer or as an identifier. Observations have to be of wild organisms, made on university properties, and during the week of Sep. 25 - Oct. 1, 2023. You can join the AppState BioBlitz project if you want, or use it to filter for observations that need IDs to help us out! (I'm sure the other universities would appreciate some help, too, especially with IDs.)
I expect a good number of first-time iNat users and there will be prizes to win and extra credit to earn. I will try to keep an eye on things, but any help with IDs and marking things cultivated that aren't wild would be very much appreciated!
To make it easier to sort out the planted from the wild, I've created an AppState Tree and Shrub Inventory project for the cultivated stuff. Feel free to check that out to see what species have been previously observed planted around campus. (If you are exploring that project, remember to uncheck "verifiable" or nothing will show up since everything in it is casual.)
