The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department in concert with the Desert Botanical Garden and especially the Central Arizona Conservation Alliance has established a new iNat project to map buffelgrass and fountaingrass locations in Phoenix parks and preserves. @sbeute gave an outstanding presentation to a group of Phoenix park rangers, stewards and interested citizens last Saturday to promote the mapping project, and I encourage any and all in the Phoenix area to add that project to your project list and to add to that database. As noted in the project rules, please make observations only from trails within the parks and preserve system. And if you should happen to run across either species along the trails in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, do let us know.
