iNaturalist is a powerful tool for people to learn about nature and to contribute to science, but we’ve heard from lots of people that they aren’t sure how to use it. In this program, Bert Harris will give a brief introduction to the iNaturalist app and website and some background and why he thinks it’s such a great application!
