iNaturalist Walk CNC Zoom Training Session

iNaturalist is an online citizen-science platform that helps identify the wildlife around you while generating data for science and conservation. iNaturalist’s Boston Area City Nature Challenge (CNC), is part of a worldwide collaborative bioblitz in cities across the world to document and identify as much wildlife as possible.

We invite you to participate in the Boston area CNC from April 25-28. Join Ann Schunior on a zoom session on April 17 to learn how to use iNaturalist. Then join Suzanne Mrozak on April 26 at Houghton’s Pond to make observations of wildlife and become part of one of the largest community science events in the world. Help us better understand – and therefore, take care of – nature that lives in and around urban areas.

The two events are independent. You can sign up for either or both.

Not familiar with the iNaturalist app? Don’t worry! We understand that some might be new to the app, which is why we’re offering a LIVE training session before the walk. During this training, Ann will guide participants through the app’s features, showing how to easily upload observations, identify species, and explore the wealth of information it offers. Whether you’re new to the app or just want to become more comfortable with it, this session will make sure you’re ready for the walk and the four days of the City Nature Challenge.

We ask that you download the iNaturalist app prior to the zoom call to help follow along!

A zoom call link for the April 17th iNaturalist app LIVE training session will be sent with 48 hours of signup!
