Or maybe you just found something really cool and wished you had someone to share it with. If this sounds familiar, consider joining the Medina County Biodiversity Project. Found on the iNaturalist website, the Medina County Biodiversity Project is an opportunity for all levels of naturalists and outdoor enthusiasts to share, learn, and interact with like-minded individuals. As a fantastic byproduct, the iNaturalist site allows users to contribute to an ever-growing body of knowledge documenting the biodiversity that Medina County, Ohio has to offer.
