About this event
It's a time to find plants, and animals together using the iNaturalist app on the smart phone. It's a time to have fun connecting with nature, recording observations, and helping scientists around the world. Participate in a search for biodiversity, the plants and animals at this time, Sundays at Two, in the afforestation areas. This is important and invaluable information for scientists, researchers, and policy makers. Great fun for groups, families, youth, adults, anyone at all. Come out Sundays at Two, or explore on your own, and take photos of the various matters of life that you see by using the iNaturalist app. No previous nature experience needed.
