The results are in!

Great work everyone, and a huge thanks to all our participants in St. Croix SNA Self-Guided Bioblitz! A total of 12 people signed up and participated in this self-guided Bioblitz by either observing or identifying species, with 191 observations of 166 species! This is wonderful!

SNA staff will be helping review and identify observations over the next few weeks. Once observations have been identified to the highest level they can be, we’ll add the research grade observations to our plant species lists on our website, which researchers, scientists and the general public use regularly. You also helped us collect species data on restoration areas in the SNA, giving the site managers have a better idea of what species are growing to monitor and evaluate the restoration projects. Thank you all for helping us accomplish this!

Congratulations to kimcwren for submitting the most observations, and to gamelaner for making the most identifications as a Bioblitz participant! Your prizes will be on the way. Prizes for most observations and most identifications were awarded to participants who signed up by joining the project and participating by either observing or identifying species for this Bioblitz. All signed-up participants who observed or identified for this project will also be receiving an SNA sticker as a thank you! Check your messages on iNaturalist for more details coming soon.

Stay tuned for the announcement of next month’s Bioblitz by checking our Events Calendar and subscribing to our Event Reminders Calendar on the top of the page. If you have questions or feedback, please contact Kari Wallin, SNA Outreach Specialist at kari.wallin@state.mn.us.

Thank you all!
SNA Staff
