Adopt a Grid Cell

We need your help in the blue grid cells!

Step 1: Find Your Desired Grid Cell

 After reading through the requirements and instructions, use the map below to select your own grid cell. We need your help in surveying the blue cells below!

Where we need your help: Our goal for 2020 is to conduct at least two surveys in each grid cell, with a high priority on the grid cells that were not surveyed in 2019. As of August 21, 2020 the blue grid cells shown below still need to be surveyed. You may still adopt and run surveys in gray grid cells, however we'd like to focus out collective effort on conducting surveys in blue areas. The grid cells are color-coded as follows:
  • Dark Blue: Highest Priority (No surveys have been conducted in these cells, we need to run two to reach complete status)
  • Light Blue: Priority (One survey has been conducted in each of these cells, we need to run one more to reach complete status)
  • Gray: Complete - Thank You! (At least two surveys have been conducted in these areas so the objective has been met)

​Using the map below, record the grid cell number of your desired survey area, and then enter it in the form below (Step 2) to adopt your grid cell. To find which grid cell hosts a specific address, use our Google Map, record your desired cell number and then proceed to Step 2.
