All observations of living things, such as wildflowers, insects, or any wild living organism, made on these days in the 10-county region around Wichita Falls will be added to the region’s project, according to a release from the organization.

The goal is to document species found in the region to help scientists who study these species learn more about where and what type of organisms are here.
