STARTED: January 2018
INTRODUCTION
The Grizzly Peak Preserve Biodiversity Project was started as a way to encourage visitors to participate in meaningful citizen-science by adding their observations, contributing not only to the biological inventories of the preserve, but also highlighting the outstanding biodiversity of the greater Cascade-Siskiyou eco-region.
iNatualist is an online gathering place for naturalists to record and corroborate their findings.
