It’s also an opportunity for you to be a community scientist\, gathering real scientific data\, while also learning about the local flora and fauna living around you. We will be walking the trails\, looking for bugs\, flowers\, salamanders\, and other living organisms. We’ll photograph them with our phones and post pictures to our iNaturalist project. We’ll have experts on hand to guide small groups point out interesting facts about the organisms we see\, and teach you how to use the iNaturalist app. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat will we be doing?\n\n\n\nWalking the trails\, looking for bugs\, flowers\, salamanders\, and anything else we can find.
