Summer 2020 in Beautiful British Columbia, Our BC iNaturalist Firsts

From March to September we returned to our motherland of British Columbia to escape the pandemic and explore the backcountry we've been dreaming of documenting while living in California. We were lucky enough to partner with the BC Parks iNat project to bio-blitz our way through some remote parks we had easy-ish access to. Most of these provincial parks were already on our to-do list for the summer, so we were ecstatic to be able to help document nature in BC on iNat.

This is our current list of BC iNat "firsts." We added thousands of observations to iNat while in BC, but I thought it was worth sharing this list to show how everyone can make an impact through iNat. This is especially true in more remote, less-traveled nooks and corners of BC, and the globe! So this is our list of the first observations of a species recorded in BC, on iNat, not the global first. I hope that makes sense! Trevor created a script, which is how we got this list.

If you disagree with any of these identifications please reach out we love learning what we saw and strive for accuracy!
