Sky Island Alliance is participating in the 2018 Border BioBlitz, a one-day communal citizen-science effort to record as many species as possible along a 1-km stretch on each side of the U.S.-Mexico border. We’ll need your help to record information in iNaturalist, and a small group will be needed to help with springs assessments at Rancho San Bernardino, west of Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. Mark your calendar for this amazing day of citizen science and community!
