Can iNaturalist Save the World? One Naturalist’s Love Affair with iNat @ Heller Nature Center | Highland Park | Illinois | United States

Whether identifying flora and fauna in the field with a smartphone photo or using it to record your own observations, iNaturalist is an invaluable natural history mobile app for citizen scientists as well as a rich source of information for researchers and conservationists. Local birder/restorationist Jeff Skrentny – a power user with 13,000+ iNat entries representing nearly 2,800 species of bird, insect, mammal and plant life – will discuss his experience with the app, its importance for the planet, and some of his most exciting sightings.
