1,000 Species, a year in review
November 29th, 2023
Birds, beetles and fungi, oh my! Our 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days project has been running for a full year now.
Over that last year, students, faculty and staff have all contributed their talents and curiosity to get as many species identified on campus as possible. Our count after one year is 820 species, with 3,916 total observations and 279 people contributing to the project.
We have made amazing strides over the past year. However, as we approach 1,000 species, we will have to work harder than ever. If you would like to get involved, or get your classes involved in the spring, email bmader@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
Happy identifying听 everyone!
