Wildnote's Taxonomy System: Your Key to Accurate Data

Nancy Douglas 0 Comments

Streamline Your Taxonomy Data Collection, Management & Reporting

Managing taxonomy is a complex task, especially when dealing with hundreds of thousands of species across vast regions. At Wildnote, we have firsthand experience navigating this challenge as we work to maintain accurate data for over 500,000 species in the United States and Canada.

With species constantly changing status, names evolving, and new discoveries emerging, it's crucial to have a robust taxonomy framework. Our system is designed to streamline the data collection process for botanists and biologists by providing a consistent and efficient way to select and match species with their specific metadata.

Announcing significant updates to our taxonomy system

  • 1,100+ New Species: We've added over 1,100 new plant, animal, and fungi species to our database.
Updated Species Statuses: Numerous species have had their status updated to reflect the latest scientific information and Federal and State regulations.
  • Project Taxa Gallery: Our new project taxa gallery offers a quick and easy way to view and export all species recorded within a specific project.
  • Improved Species Search on Mobile: Check out Taxonomy Smart Search within a Survey.

Swamp School class engaged in field training

The Swamp School

Based in Angier, North Carolina, the Swamp School offers post-secondary/college classes and webinars in wetland assessment, delineation and design, and other topics relating to the management of wetlands. The classes are designed to help environmental professionals enhance their skills and expand their business. Wildnote will be included in all of the Swamp School’s wetland delineation courses, whether offered in the classroom, online or on-demand sessions.

Automated Forms with Professional Wetland Training

The Swamp School has the ability to provide the wetland and IT technical support that students need to successfully use technology to collect data and report on wetland delineations. Marc pointed out that many of the issues with the wetland delineation data collection software products arise not from an inability to use the software but from a fundamental misunderstanding of what data needs to be collected, how, and why. By combining the wetland training with the software training, students will seamlessly integrate digital technology into their delineation projects. The newly-formed partnership was immediately put to use.
