Check out these projects in May
While we wait for the results of the City Nature Challenge to be announced on Monday evening, I found a couple of other ongoing projects that you can check out!
Sea Grant is conducting a Great Lakes BioBlitz right now! All states that border the Great Lakes are involved and there are some educator resources connected to it. Here is New York's project page, which is administered by @chickadee09. It started April 22 and goes through May 20. Since that time included the CNC, you'll see some familiar faces in the leaderboards right now :-)
The other project happening now is the May EcoQuest for the NYC EcoFlora Project . This month is all about posting your old photos to iNaturalist. Click here for more info. This project is administered by @danielatha.
I love the idea of posting old photos. During these stay-at-home times, I've been working on that for my own pre-smartphone photos during the Citizen/Community Science Virtual Happy Hours I've been hosting (the next one is May 13, RSVP at this Eventbrite link). There's a great interview that iNaturalist posted about posting old photos on the iNaturalist blog here: https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/17268-an-interview-with-gcwarbler
ETA: @srall let me know about the Socially Distant BioBlitz which happens every 3 weeks. The next one is tomorrow (May 3). Check it out here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/socially-distant-bioblitz-5-3-2020
Stay tuned for CNC global results on Monday!
