Santa Barbara county community members are encouraged to collect additional data on public lands using the mobile apps listed below.  These data are vetted and feed into the below data facilities.  Community members should not collect data about private property unless it is theirs or they have been asked to do so by the landowner. Landowners are encouraged to participate.

Info about Data Sources:

These data were amassed from the Consortium of California Herbaria (CCH), the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), and CalFlora, all publicly available data. Data include observations of the plants in the field, as well as specimen collections.

The Consortium of California Herbaria serves as a gateway to information from California vascular plant specimens that are housed in participant herbaria.

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international open data infrastructure, funded by governments.
It allows anyone, anywhere to access data about all types of life on Earth, shared across national boundaries via the Internet. These data  data from herbaria and citizen contributions via iNaturalist.

The Calflora Database is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing information about California plant biodiversity for use in Education, Research and Conservation. Information in Calflora comes from multiple sources, including public agencies, non-profits, scientists, private donors, and citizen observations.
