The blog format will, we hope, allow rapid dissemination of this information so that nature lovers, photographers, native plant propagators and weed warriors can act quickly on this information. The archive will allow this information to be analyzed for long-term trends, including the effects of climate change. Only registered users will be allowed to post, to avoid vandalism to the site.
