Hey everyone, Casey here. I'm about to take off on the year of the cone, and I need your help.

What is the year of the cone? Well, it's my project of finding every native species of

conifer in the United States, all 111 of them, all in one year. I decided to take on this project

because I wanted to tell their stories and bring attention

to the incredible diversity we're lucky to have in our country.

And right now, this goal seems more important than ever.

The protected areas where many of these trees live are at risk of being lost, and I want to

show just how important it is that we don't let that happen.

And of course, you know it's going to be a lot of fun along the way.

So come be a part of this project by supporting me through patreon.com slash Casey Clap,

joining the cone club at arbitrarypod.com, or by giving a one-time donation at GoFundMe slash

Year of the Cone.

And obviously, you can follow along on social media and YouTube so you don't miss a thing.

Again, that's gofundme.com slash year of the cone or check out CaseyClap.com for more information.

Thanks, everyone.
