- Scientists volunteer their time to document biodiversity in the Smoky Mountains
Scientists and volunteers are documenting biodiversity in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by tracking species like rare lichen, salamanders, and flowers. The group GRISLD, composed of retirees, contributes to an all-taxa inventory managed by Discover Life in America, focusing on hard-to-reach areas and species sensitive to environmental changes.
