Thanks so much for participating and for making this citizen science effort a success! But, the fun isn't over yet! we still have the "Biodiversity of the Anacostia River" project! Our challenge is to document the species of the #AnacostiaRiver watershed and use the information for science, conservation, ecological restoration, outdoor recreation and education.
