For Agents: How to Report in Georgia Counts
We need to track the impact of our Trees for Bees project, and we can use GACounts to do it. We will pull a report of our combined impact, and we will create a state-wide impact statement. Of course, if you enter data, you will be included in that impact statement.
You can create a local impact statement with this project as well. Many Center projects have appeared with a state-wide and a local impact.
To enter your Trees for Bees activities:
- Use the topic: Forestry Resources
- Use two keywords: pollinators and urban forestry
That will put the counts where we can pull them easily and attribute them to this project.
Thank you,
Dr. Ellen M. Bauske
