Hello! Fairly new participant here. I have started a project for where I work. I was finally able to add my work campus as a Place but when I try to add the place to my existing project, all my observations go to zero. Is there a way to incorporate the two together? I am probably missing something simple but would appreciate some guidance. Thank you! ---

Is this the project? [https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/tmmtn-shinrin-yoku](https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/tmmtn-shinrin-yoku) Can you link to the place? Sometimes it takes new places a few minutes to populate observations. ---

Yes it is! I named the Place the same thing! [https://www.inaturalist.org/places/tmmtn-shinrin-yoku](https://www.inaturalist.org/places/tmmtn-shinrin-yoku) I was trying to keep it simple. ---

Yep! Just like I thought, it was something super simple, it just needed more time!! Thank you so much! ---

OK it looks like the place has a lot of your observations in it. It was just created today, so there may have been a delay. Can you try adding it as a project requirement again? ---
