Have you ever wondered what that plant is? Noticed some cool mushrooms? Heard a weird bird call? Do you care about the places you canoe through and want to contribute data to help conserve them? Join Dr Mhairi McFarlane to learn about iNaturalist and eBird. These community science platforms are a great learning tool for amateurs and experts alike, and support research and conservation globally. Mhairi will introduce these tools, and provide valuable tips about how to use them in the wilderness to improve your knowledge of the natural world, drawing on her experiences canoeing throughout Ontario.
