Citizen Science Workshop: Introduction to iNaturalist

Have you ever seen a flower, tree, bird, mushroom, or insect and wished you knew what it was? Well, now you can find out with iNaturalist! This online platform allows you to tap into a global community of naturalists, biologists, and other nature enthusiasts to help you learn about nearly any organism under the sun. It's also a tool that's often used in citizen science projects like bioblitzes to create snapshots of what species are living in an area at any given time.

Bring a laptop computer or a smartphone, and a few digital pictures of organisms that you've taken for the hands-on portion of the workshop.
