New! iNaturalist
iNaturalist is a site, app and community for reporting
personal observations of any plant or animal in the world.
It's a great platform for recording daily observations of
the living natural world and a useful tool to find out what
others have seen in a particular area. We'll explain more
about the app and website and teach participants how
to use the app on a hike in the forest. Download it on
iTunes or Google Play prior to class.
