Renewed effort to identify Sonoma Developmental Center observations

Gentlepeople,

I am hoping, in the near future, to have the opportunity to analyze and write up (for publication) our biodiversity data for the Sonoma Developmental Center. Two local environmental groups are in conversation with each other about funding this effort.

I would like to therefore ask all project members (and other IDers) to please, if your schedule allows, to identify as many of the SDC observations as the evidence permits. We currently have almost 4000 observations that have not made Research Grade, and presumably some small number that have made RG but are not correct. Here is a link to identify those: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?project_id=sonoma-developmental-center-natural-history

The goal is to allow land managers and those making decisions about development to make use of the biodiversity data we have gathered. iNaturalist data, in and of themselves, are often not considered official enough to be used in these kind of situations, but a peer reviewed publication would be. I'd be very happy to have your aid and collaboration on this effort.

Gratefully,
Dan
