Spring Gall Week! April 20-28 2024 Gall Bioblitz! Worldwide!

Hey, hey gallfriends!
Mark your calendars for spring gall week 2024!
Join the project here:
https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/gall-week-april-2024-event
(Remember this is a “manual” project, so each gall observation will need to be specifically added to the project.)
Galls can be caused by fungi and bacteria as well as arthropods!
Gall resources on “what is a gall?” and where to find galls in your area can be found on last year’s gall project journal page at: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/gall-week-spring-2023/journal/77854-gall-resources

This year the project overlaps with the City Nature Challenge, which runs April 26 – April 29, 2024 (check it out at https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/faq)

(I’m so used to where to find California spring galls I’ll have to get creative on where to find ones in western Oregon….There are loads of galls in eastern Oregon on sagebrush and rabbit brush though!)

Have a gall! :D
