I’m looking for folks teaching herpetology this spring who might want to participate in a larger iNaturalist team sightings page with my penn state students. Cool chance to learn about other regions and see differences in phenology

I believe that this is part of the mandate from the American people. They want us to cooperate. That’s the choice I’ll make. And I call on the Congress — Democrats and Republicans alike — to make that choice with me.
