It’s #FunFactFriday, and today we’re sharing five surprising soil facts. Swipe to learn more about why soil is not the same as dirt. 👀 And if you’re in California this fall, consider joining us out in the field and collecting soil samples as part of our California Biodiversity project! Soil samples will be analyzed to document organisms living in California and contribute to statewide conservation efforts. 🌱⁠ Check the project page to learn more and apply to join!  https://lnkd.in/gpm5SdTz 📚Sources  https://lnkd.in/gfVVP-sC  https://lnkd.in/gW822cW4  https://lnkd.in/gBwcZ3EB #cabiodiversity #biodiversity #conservation #communityscience #biodiversityhotspot #citizenscience #30X30

Join us for a webinar on Wednesday, November 13th, to learn more about Adventure Scientists’ conservation impact over the summer and ways YOU can get involved in projects happening this fall and winter! We had amazing volunteers scout for cones in Montana and California this summer to support forests in regenerating after wildfires. Join us to learn more about the impact of the Reforestation project with our partners at Mast Reforestation and what comes next for supporting our forests! Plus, we’ll share other ways you can get involved in projects this fall and winter, including through our California Biodiversity project. 🔗 to learn more and register https://lnkd.in/gUfV-5w5

Adventure and science go hand in hand. 🤝 Over more than a decade, Adventure Scientists has uncovered outdoor data that would otherwise be inaccessible to drive conservation solutions. And we’re just getting started. If you or someone you know is interested in partnering with Adventure Scientists and unlocking new conservation data, check out how we might be able to help below. https://lnkd.in/gtunjZKs 

International Day of Climate Action formally falls on October 24th, but it’s celebrated every day here at Adventure Scientists. Climate is one of our core impact areas with projects designed to help uncover vital conservation data that accelerate climate solutions. If you’re looking to commemorate the day today, consider signing up for one of our current projects by checking out our platform at the link below! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g6e89hCN

From the highest peaks to the depths of the ocean, our volunteer adventurers have collected data from the most incredible places around the world.

California is the most biodiverse state in the country. Yet, its biodiversity is increasingly threatened by wildfires, climate change, and other factors. You can help protect the thousands of species that call California home by participating in our California Biodiversity project. Through the project, you’ll head out into beautiful California landscapes and collect insect and soil samples. This data will help inform conservation efforts across the state. Read more about how to get involved on the project page!  https://lnkd.in/gpm5SdTz 

Ever seen these cute little critters on a hike? This is a pika, the smallest member of the rabbit family, and an indicator species for climate change. The pika lives in high elevation and cold mountainous environments. They cannot survive in temperatures warmer than 80 degrees Fahrenheit (25.5 degrees Celsius). As temperatures rise due to climate change, pikas are one of the species that can be most affected. By studying the habits and movements of these animals, we can better track the effects of climate change and protect vulnerable species like the pika. Adventure Scientists volunteers contributed to a multi-year research effort to track pikas, uncovering important lessons for the conservation of these and other animals along the way.
