iNaturalist
Help us find grassland plant species! Go wildflower hunting on roadsides, rights of way, and old fields. Perhaps you have some of these species in your yard? We are looking for plant species that occur on the land naturally, not planted. We need your help finding the relict prairie plants before it is too late. Many are hanging on in sites that need more sun. Thankfully many of these species can live over 100 years. We want to find these plants, map them, and work with partners to make plans to restore their habitats. Check out the Georgia Grasslands Initiative (GGI) iNaturalist project page to help!
Local Challenges
We need your help. Take on these challenges and tasks listed in the How to Help tab to conserve grassland plants and habitats, as well as the animals that depend on them for survival. These tasks include buying native plants, getting rid of invasive plants, finding value in roadsides, planting the Georgia pollinator plants of the year, and more.
