I'm an avid parkgoer and wildlife lover. I grew up in Florida, around northern Pinellas county on the Gulf of Mexico (sandy, scrubby, coastal and inland wetlands, pine flatwoods, etc.) and just discovered INaturalist in early 2019. I'm studying Environmental Science and Policy at USF Tampa, my grandfather was a blueberry farmer, and my mother loves her garden, so I've pretty much always had a green thumb. I also like photography, so INat is a great artistic and scientific outlet for me! It also just gives me another reason to go to the park. :)
