We did it!! And a small surprise.

Dear MeadoWatch supporters, cheerleaders, and friends—

We made it!! Janneke and I are thrilled and incredibly grateful to all of you not just for the pledges but the kindness and encouragement you've shown over the past few weeks. One of our next steps is to recruit the best candidate possible to fill the role of MeadoWatch intern for the summer and we will let you know when we've chosen the perfect person to help us.

In the meantime, I have a small surprise to share. We highlighted volunteer Kari Berger's botanical illustrations in a previous Lab Note and I'm delighted to let you know that Kari has agreed to let us produce a limited run of stickers using these gorgeous designs. If you are an Experiment.com backer, we will soon be publishing a backers-only Lab Note with a survey link. If you let us know your address, we will send you a thank you sticker—or, if you're planning on coming to a MeadoWatch orientation this season, you can pick one up from us directly!

Once again, thank you all so much and we can't wait to get out on the mountain this summer! :)
