Join ecologist Steven Lamonde for a hands-on introduction to iNaturalist, an online community science platform for documenting biodiversity. We’ll start with group instruction on how to collect and submit natural history observations via the iNaturalist app, then venture out to document as many species as possible in the field, forest, and wetland edges along the Hiroshi Loop Trail. Bring a smartphone or tablet with the iNaturalist app already installed, and come prepared for sun and biting insects.

1 to 3 p.m. at the Hiroshi Land in Peterborough, which is located on the east side of Route 137, 2.1 miles north of its junction with Route 101.

Space is limited, and registration is required. For general information about Harris Center field trips, including questions about accessibility, see our Outings Information page. For questions about this particular outing, please contact Steven or Brett Amy Thelen.

Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education and the Peterborough Conservation Commission.
