Let's get ready for the 2020 City Nature Challenge!

You can keep your social distance AND participate in citizen science for the City Nature Challenge (CNC). With this webinar you will learn the rationale behind this international event and how your observations on iNaturalist support conservation science. We will review how to use the tool iNaturalist, the central platform for the event. And we'll explain a few "pro-tips" for making high quality entries and having a fun (and safe) time while participating. There will be plenty of Q & A time, so be sure to try out iNaturalist and bring your questions.

This webinar is offered through Zoom; a link will be emailed to you with your registration confirmation.

Be sure to REGISTER for this free event so we can send you any changes to the web links as needed.

Meeting from 3:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. on:
