Attention Followers and Lurkers

If you are supportive of the overall mission of Cincinnati Re-Wild but are reluctant to participate too publicly, this message is for you! The best way you can support us is to filter based on this umbrella project on the "identification" page and contribute to the umbrella by id'ing species for the group.

Each project in this umbrella has dedicated significant portions of their yards to some form of re-wilding / restoration. This can be a lonely existence. Having someone with more knowledge than me identify organisms existing in my backyard can feel like bringing an expert home from the nearest preserve and having them look over my shoulder as I conduct my restoration. I no longer have to show up at the nearest nature center and tug at someone's sleeve to tell them about my backyard. They can "opt in" if they like, by filtering potential identifications for this umbrella thereby confirming the identities of organisms at my place and others like it.

Cool. I didn't even realize that you could filter by project in the identify window.

Sometimes I find an interesting insect in my backyard.
Sometimes the foremost expert on that specific insect identifies that insect on iNat.
In the olden days, I'd have to capture that insect and take it to the supermarket.
Upon arriving at the supermarket, I'd ask other shoppers if they had seen my insect.
Most shoppers would hurry away until I found the foremost expert.
I'd ask the foremost expert, is this that one insect?
And they'd say, "yep".
Then, beaming with pride, I'd carry the insect home and place it back on the plant where I'd found it.
I've always hated going to the supermarket.
