Naturalist Training - Community Science and Introduction to iNaturalist

Описание: Naturalist Training - Community Science and Introduction to iNaturalist

This interactive presentation is an introduction to community science and iNaturalist. We will explain what iNaturalist is and how we use it at our BioBlitz events. You'll learn the "why" - why should you use the iNaturalist app, if you aren't doing so already, and how can you improve your experience, if you're already a user. We will provide examples of scientific studies using iNaturalist data in order to learn about our environment.

This is Part 1 of a new series of naturalist presentations.
Co-hosts are Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful and BioBlitz Club
