Have you heard about the iNaturalist app and want to try it out? It can be intimidating for people to jump in who feel like beginners, or who are just starting to explore their backyard biodiversity or discover plants and animals on nearby nature walks.

How does iNaturalist work and how can you start exploring and logging your discoveries? Our herpetologist, Dave Blackburn, presented a great webinar on the hows and whys of the app and the community that supports it.
