Let's finish off the summer with a big iNat push in BC Parks!

Hi folks-

It's hard to believe it's already August! We have one month left in the summer to iNat BC Parks! August is a wonderful month to be out exploring provincial protected areas, from swimming in lakes, kayaking the coasts, to climbing into the alpine to see the glorious wildflower blooms. Insects are out by the thousands, and every observation you make increases our knowledge of biodiversity across the province. Who knows what you'll find? Just last month @johndreynolds, @jennyheron, @jgatten and I found new occurrences of a very rare dragonfly in the Lower Mainland. Your iNatting may turn up something just as important, whether a rare species, an out-of-range occurrence, or key information on the timing of activity. All iNat observations are important, and together we're contributing to the next phase of our understanding of Canadian biodiversity.

We're going to do our best to get as many observations as we can before September hits, pushing us past our goals of 225,000 observations and more than 50 protected areas with 1000 observations each. We're aiming for new species, too: just this week the project pushed past 6000 species total! Way to go BC Parks iNatters!

Here's hoping you get out to our beautiful BC Parks and see lots of interesting species. Have fun, be safe!

@bstarzomski and @johndreynolds
