10:00am-noon
Roving Naturalist Matt Felperin is hosting a City Nature Challenge Volunteer Event at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens on Friday, April 26, 10am-noon. Participants will learn how to use the iNaturalist app on their smartphones to document wildlife. The group will then take a nature walk and wield their new powers of posting observations of wildlife on iNaturalist. An online signup is required.
The annual international City Nature Challenge is the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet in the world of Citizen Science. This four-day global bioblitz, held this year April 28 through May 1, is a friendly competition where cities vie to have the greatest numbers of nature observations submitted through the iNaturalist app.
Participants are encouraged to download the iNaturalist app on to their smart phone before the event if possible. If not, assistance will be provided.
