Some great stuff, Cassi!!! Looking forward to seeing some great Chicago observations!

Posted by sambiology almost 6 years ago

If we have a separate project for the place we are bioblitzing, should we add our observations to the Chgo Wildnerness Area Project? Or, is there a way to join projects?

Posted by swalquist almost 6 years ago

All the observations will automatically get added to the Chicago Wilderness region project if they fall within the CW boundaries. Same for your project for Columbus Park. No need to manually add any observations to the project.

iNat just introduced a new style of project, so you might want to go in and edit yours to move it over to the new style (there's a link to move it over when you edit the project). Examples:
