How to batch-add your iNaturalist observations to the Rare Species of Oregon project

Hello iNaturalistas,

Did you know there is a tool to find your observations that match the Rare Species of Oregon species list and batch-add them to the project? It only takes a few clicks and is a great, fast way to share your rare species observations with a wider audience.

Here are the steps to take:

1. From the Rare Species of Oregon project page, click "Add from your observations." (if you're not already a member of the project, click "Join Project" at the top of the page first)
2. If you have matching observations, click the "Batch Edit" button near the top of the page.
3. Click "Select All".
4. Click "Add to Project" and then Add Rare Species of Oregon.
5. Done! Repeat periodically to tag new observations or to match newly-tracked species.

We at the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center use your observations to help assess species statuses, distributions, habitat use, and trends. Our data is used by many agencies, consultants, and researchers throughout Oregon. In addition, our data is shared with NatureServe which pools data from all 50 states and several Canadian provinces and Latin American countries to allow for regional analyses. Your observations really do make a difference!

Thanks for sharing,

Lindsey
