Step 1: Find Your Desired Grid Cell

After reading through the requirements and instructions, use the map below to select your own grid cell. ​Using the map below, record the grid cell number of your desired survey area, and then enter it in the form below (Step 2) to adopt your grid cell. To find which grid cell hosts a specific address, the search bar in the upper left of the map.

Map Key:

• Green Cells: Available - No volunteers have adopted these cells yet.
• Yellow Cells: Adopted, Still Available - Up to 5 volunteers can adopt the same grid cell.
• Gray Cells: No Longer Available - A cell is "closed" after 5 volunteers have adopted it.

To find which grid cell hosts a specific address, use our Google Map, record your desired cell number and then proceed to Step 2.
