Join us for a special Wednesday Walk and hands-on training session to learn how to use iNaturalist, a free online platform that encourages users to record and share nature observations.
Whether you're new to the iNaturalist app or looking to sharpen your skills, this walk will help you confidently identify and record local wildlife. We'll practice making observations and answer any questions along the way. In the event of inclement weather, this program will be moved to April 16.
No experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and a smartphone! This training will also help prepare those interested in participating in the City Nature Challenge from April 25 - 28.
