Greetings,

Texas Nature Trackers Biologist Craig Hensley has begun curating observations for this project. if you are a Curator/Manager for this project, you are encouraged to spend time curating over the next few months. Species of special interest to begin focusing on include Texas milkweed (A. texana), Emory milkweed (A. emoryi), slim milkweed (A. linearis), velvet-leaf milkweed (A. tomentosa), wheel milkweed (A. uncialis), Engelmann's milkweed (A. engelmannii), and slimleaf milkweed (A. stenophylla). Once these are curated, we can turn our attention to other species -- that said, any curation will be helpful.

For any of the Texas Nature Trackers projects, accuracy is a very important parameter that determines the usefulness of an observation for inclusion in the Texas Natural Diversity Database. We encourage you to make sure you assign an accuracy of less than 500 meters when uploading observations. This is as easy as selecting on "location" and pinpointing your observation on the map and then selecting "update observation."
