Good morning AppState!

We are now halfway through our BioBlitz week and cracked the 1,000 observation mark yesterday. Great job! We will have several classes out in the field today and tomorrow targeting ASU Lake and the Gilley Research Station. Looking forward to seeing what they find!

UNCW is determined to win this time. They have about twice as many observers on the ground for this round, pulling in twice as many observations as we did so far. We have our work cut out for us for the rest of the week! We are doing great on recruiting more participants but could certainly still use more help. We are finding some great biodiversity though - UNCW's lead in terms of number of species is not as strong. Here are the leaderboards as of this morning - you can also check for them live at the 2023 Fall NC Campus Nature Challenge project:
