What a wonderful project!

Their data is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND, which GBIF does not support though. You can see this at the bottom of their website.

Hopefully someone can still reach out to the project. Maybe by explaining the benefits of sharing their data through GBIF they would decide to use a less restrictive license such as CC BY-NC.

Won't be a high priority, but we can assign this one to me as the remaining representative of County Kyle.
