great! It's a very handy resource and way to connect with other naturalists

Hey @treewizard.bsky.social I love your work! There are some highly qualified gum nuts that hang out on INaturalistAu inaturalist.ala.org.au (especially Dean Nicolle and Tony Bean) - it's a good place to get ID's for Eucalypts (and other Aust flora and fauna).

Also available on tshirts and other goodies via my Redbubble store www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1677...
