(MD) (Maryland Native Plant Society) Deborah Barber will explain how to use iNaturalist to scope out an area’s biota. She’ll provide tips for making identifiable photo and audio observations. She’ll highlight other features such as protecting a location’s privacy, connecting with citizen and expert naturalists worldwide, and showing off the incredible diversity of the greater DC area during upcoming the City Nature Challenge.
