Project Update and Challenge

Hi all

Update 8/21/2020: crossed over the 700 species barrier, great job!

Thanks to all who have made many contributions, observations and identifications over the years within our project and special place!

To date we have had 2,348 observations, 669 species, 599 Identifiers and 250 Observers. I'd like to challenge us to reach 700 species in near term! The Pawnee National Grassland is special place and reaching 700 species is certainly attainable--I know I am out there chasing that goal. :-)
