2014 SOD Blitz: All but the results
Good job Citizen Scientists! 360 Sonoma County trees were sampled during the April 19th weekend SOD Blitz. And according to Toni at the UC Berkeley lab that processes these leaves:
The Sonoma samples are very high quality this year. Lots of symptomatic leaves, good GPS points and correct ID on almost everything, and lots of participants. You all are doing a marvelous job!
Thanks to everyone who participated and stay tuned. We should know the results in August.
