always adventuring

I’m excited to share I am now an ambassador for iNaturalist.org (unpaid, volunteer position). I discovered iNaturalist 2 years ago, and have since enjoyed using it to document what I see while out exploring. I’m excited to share my love of nature with others and continue to contribute to citizen science. The program’s still pretty new, so I’m not 100% sure what it will look like going forward, but stay tuned for upcoming events I’ll be hosting or assisting with in the Southern Appalachian region (thinking maybe some bioblitzes 🤔). Pics are some of my favorite flora, fauna, and fungi that I’ve documented on my adventures 🦋🐍🍄
