Contribute Data using iNaturalist.org
If you're already an iNaturalist user, contriubute your invasive species data to iMapInvasives by becoming a member of our iNaturalist project.
Overview
Use the power of iNaturalist to record observations of any organism you find, whether it's a native, non-native, or invasive species. Invasive species data entered into iNaturalist via the Pennsylvania iMapInvasives project will be uploaded to iMapInvasives after quality control checks are completed.
Data entered into the Pennsylvania iMapInvasives project on iNaturalist will help to fill in invasive species "data gaps" and provide a more accurate picture of the distribution and density of species populations across our state.
