Welcome Macaulay Team!

Hey folks! Let's show off the nature around us wherever we are this summer! All through June, July, and August, make iNaturalist observations and have them count towards this project. How many different species can we find? How far can we expand our map? What will be the most observed species? Let's find out!

Here's how to participate:

1 - Join the project (the Join button is in the project banner on the app and in the browser).
2 - Make observations wherever you are June 1, 2021 through August 31, 2021.

That's it! It's easy! The project will automatically collect all of your observations once you join. Please try to keep your observations to wild individuals (no pets, potted plants, landscaped plants, zoo animals, etc.), but if you do post those, be sure to mark them as "captive/cultivated."

I'll announce who our top observers and species finders are each month and we'll also have some mini challenges that I'll post about here. The first mini challenge will coincided with Pollinator Week later this month. You'll get updates about new posts in the Activity section of the app or via email (if you enabled that function in iNaturalist).

Don't forget that you can also observe close to (or inside) your home! Visit this page from the 2020 City Nature Challenge: NYC project: Stay at Home Scavenger Hunt.

Happy Observing!
Kelly
