Vast and Curious: Explore Your World with iNaturalist

Satisfy your curiosity while also contributing to community science? Eureka! iNaturalist is a fun and powerful tool that helps you identify any living thing—plants, insects, fungi, and more—with just a picture, making it great for the plant clinic, birdwatching, or just exploring the natural world. On top of that, scientists around the globe actually use the data you collect; your observations can help them conduct research, track trends, and monitor the spread of invasive species and the populations of endangered ones. Let our presenter show you the simple and quick way to use the app and site. (We strongly recommend downloading the app before the webinar.)

Presenter: Rachel Werling is a native-plant botanist and president of the Siskiyou Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon. She served as faculty at OSU’s Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center with the Land Steward Program until spring of 2024.
