CONTRIBUTE TO SCIENCE
Every observation can contribute to biodiversity science, from the rarest butterfly to the most common backyard weed. We share your findings with scientific data repositories like the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to help scientists find and use your data. All you have to do is observe.
GETTING STARTED
Create an iNaturalist account
Have students collect observations
Teach should conduct quality control (delete fuzzy photos, make sure identifications make sense, location is logged correctly)
TEACHERS
Which classes can document the most species?
The most observations?
We’ll give out some prizes later in June!
