July and August Awards!
We noticed we failed to post the July awards on here along with when our email goes out, so here are the updates for the past two months! We have already learned a lot from this year's BioBlitz, and your feedback has been appreciated. We hope that next year we can take what we have learned and make the BioBlitz much smoother! Please note that monthly species have been calculated as new species each month. Until now, we did not know how to calculate this statistic aside from keeping track of monthly tallies. We will continue to use this method this year, but anticipate changing it next year to more accurately represent total monthly species counts!
Without further ado, here are the winners!
