40,000 Observations!

Hi, all, just a quick comment to note the achievement of another milestone: on the evening of June 6, the MV Atlas of Life project received its 40,000th observation! It looks like Nancy Weaver's Lepidium virginicum was the one that hit the round number.

With 4,158 species currently documented, this project has grown into a tremendous resource for celebrating and studying the unique biodiversity of Martha's Vineyard. Thanks to all of the 1,751 observers who have submitted iNat data from the Vineyard, and to the 3,160 iNat users who have helped identify those observations. Every contribution helps clarify what we have and where it occurs.

Now, on to 50,000!
