Mark your calendars: AppState Spring 2023 BioBlitz next month!
Hi Folks,
we had so much fun with the BioBlitz last year that we'll be doing it again this year. We will have a Spring BioBlitz during Earth Week from April 17-23, 2023. Mark your calendars and feel free to join us again! You can find the spring '23 project here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/appstate-bioblitz-spring-2023
There will actually be a series of these types of events next month if this is something you enjoy:
- Our university BioBlitz will be part of a larger month-long effort cataloging life in Watauga County during all of April (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/watauga-county-bioblitz-2023). Everything counts for that one, not just the wild things! Just remember to mark your pets and potted plants as captive/cultivated.
- If you are the competitive type and looking for a more short-term effort, you may also enjoy participating in the Western North Carolina project tied into this year's worldwide City Nature Challenge the weekend of April 28-May 1 (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2023-western-nc).
If you enjoy these challenges and like to track your achievements, here are two more cool ways you can interact with iNaturalist:
- Play iNat Bingo by pulling up a card of 25 organisms to try to find for the current month. These are based on previous years' observations for the same month and location. You can change to different locations by clicking on Appalachian State University on the bottom of the page and typing in any place name that exists on iNaturalist.
- Check your Wild Achievements to see what fun achievements you have already unlocked, and which you might want to be working on this spring!
We hope you will join us again this year for another round of fun BioBlitzing around the AppState campus!
