Here are the updated stats for the Piedmont Triad Spring 2020 BioThon! Davidson county has a staggering 1,781 observations with the help of top participants kellyek, erinedwards, sailingsharon, and hikernut. Not to mention the Greater NC Spring BioThon which we started not too long ago already has 446 observations surely due to the top observers kylezjones13 and graceupshaw.
The BioThon is set to end June 19th, so there is still time left to go out and get some observations or try to identify what others have observed. To join it's easy as 1,2 ,3!
1. Download the iNaturalist app on your mobile device and create an account (or do so at www.inaturalist.org)
2. From the “More” tab, click on Projects and join the Spring 2020 BioThon where you live: ALAMANCE, DAVIDSON, FORSYTH, GUILFORD, RANDOLPH, ROCKINGHAM, or the Greater NC BioThon if you life outside these counties!
3. Go out and observe wild animals and plants. Snap photos, identify the organism (the iNaturalist database will make suggestions and your hosts will help too), add your location, and save your observation.
