SUMMARY:Flora of Oregon and NPSO iNaturalist ID-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Flora of Oregon and NPSO iNaturalist ID-a-thon\nDate/time: January 17\, 2026 at 12am through January 25\, 2026 a 11:59pm\nDetails:  Link: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify\n\nJoin the Flora of Oregon and NPSO ID-a-thon!\n\nWhat do we want from you?We are asking you to add identifications to as many “Needs ID” plant observations for Oregon as possible to the Flora of Oregon: Vascular Plants iNaturalist Project\, with a goal of reaching 24\,500 identifications. You don’t have to be an expert botanist to participate; in fact\, we encourage everyone\, regardless of your level of botanical expertise\, to contribute. Every observation you help identify—whether it’s a trillium\, lupine\, or Douglas-fir—strengthens the scientific record.One of our goals for these events is to increase the number of people who identify Oregon plants on iNaturalist.\n\nWhy it matters:The Flora of Oregon: Vascular Plants iNaturalist project currently has 1\,257\,782 observations of 5230 plant species from across Oregon. An amazing 65% are RESEARCH Grade\, verified by several different individuals as accurate; however\, 35%; 438\,752 observations\, are in the NEEDS ID category and that is where your participation comes in. Even adding accurate identification to some of our most familiar and iconic species would go a long way to contributing to conservation and biodiversity research data by increasing the accuracy of observations. You may learn more about the geographic distribution and flowering times of plant species that have captured your interest. And this might inspire your next native plant outing in 2026!
