▾What you're looking at
Each point is a community plant observation recorded on iNaturalist inside our Trabuco Creek work area, pulled on —. Together they show what observers have documented here — a working picture, not a complete or formally field-verified survey.
Research grade means the identification has been confirmed by the iNaturalist community; needs ID is still awaiting confirmation. Plants are sorted into native, invasive/non-native, and other as a first pass for planning — these calls are easy to refine as the team reviews them in the field.
The data covers every public iNaturalist observation in the search box, from all observers — not one person's account. Drawn on the map: a teal dashed line for the approximate work-area extent, and a thin rectangle showing exactly which area the data covers.
