BC Parks are closed: iNatting in the time of COVID
Dear all-
With this morning’s announcement that all BC Parks will be shut for the foreseeable future our BC Parks iNaturalist project is going to see a big decline in additions. What a great opportunity to add your old photos! If you have pictures from the past that have dates and locations, now is the time to add them to iNaturalist. It’s easy to do, and historical data are so valuable: we can keep the project momentum going, learn more about what was there in the past, AND reminisce about past awesome trips to BC’s most beautiful places. We can also make plans and dream about our next big trips into BC Parks, which hopefully we can do soon.
Another way to pass the time is to help with identifications: here’s a link to all the unidentified observations in the BC Parks project https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=7085&project_id=bc-parks&quality_grade=needs_id&subview=grid. Let’s see how many IDs we can get!
We hope you’re all managing to stay happy and healthy, and look forward to seeing you on the trails later in the year!
Take care-
Brian and John
