I gained a deeper appreciation and understanding of the greater Burlington area. I found invasive and non-native species including Japanese Knotweed and Garlic Mustard. I also observed many new species that I had never seen or recognized before such as a Red-winged blackbird, squash bugs, water leaves, or horsetails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the species that I observed came from the Intervale Center because a friend and I went on a run in the area and decided to explore the area to take observations of species. In total I found\/observed around 35 species but only 14 new species for my lab groups collective efforts towards the challenge. I think iNaturalist was a great way to ID different species. It also allowed for people who were more trained at IDing species to comment and give a more in depth description or analysis of the species, which was super helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this is a great challenge for a city to work together to reach a goal of identifying species. I think it was also good for people to get outside to be a part of nature and understand it on a deeper level. I think it could be advertised more to other groups of people to retain a greater number of participants in the population. It was really interesting to compare species observations from different parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3294-473x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3294-473x1024.png 473w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3294-139x300.png 139w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3294-768x1662.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3294-710x1536.png 710w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3294-946x2048.png 946w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3294.png 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"74\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3293-473x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3293-473x1024.png 473w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3293-139x300.png 139w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3293-768x1662.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3293-710x1536.png 710w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3293-946x2048.png 946w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cgconkli\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_3293.png 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City Nature Challenge iNaturalist BioBlitz was an exciting experience that allowed me a way to engage with the environment in a new way.
