Community member @skrentnyjeff aka “citizen scientist extraordinaire” is informatively profiled in this recent piece: A Naturalist’s 2020 Quest: Find 2,500 Living Things In The Wilds Of Cook County

Jeff or Derek told me about iNaturalist a few years ago at a LaBagh workday. Definitely changed how I see things!

As another Illinois observer, it was fun to read about some of the folks behind the user IDs I see frequently! Thanks for the heads up on the article.
