Hi everyone i’m starting a citizen science project on invasive plants, and i’ve chose the amazing iNat as platform to collect data. I was thinkin to start the main project as a Traditional project, and start many Bioblitz as ‘collection project’ every 5-6 months to provide challenge to the partecip…

On the main page of traditional project is a link to search for obs, there you go and open filters, adding name of bioblitz as a project, from there you can add them.

Yes, you will be able to, you can do it pretty much anywhere.
