Nature Lover - Observation Recorder
Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc., Saskatoon
Deadline: April 29, 2022 - May 02, 2022
Help put the City of Saskatoon on the world nature scene for the City Nature Challenge CNC YXE! Using the free iNaturalist app take photos of plants, animals, insects and mushrooms between April 29 – May 2, 2022! Saskatoon will compete for the title of the most Biodiverse City. We need your help!
The goals are to engage the public in the collection of biodiversity data, with three awards each year for the cities and areas that makes the most observations, find the most species, and engage the most people.
Whether you’re an avid naturalist or a dog walker, family on a picnic, sitting at a soccer or baseball game, everyone can participate: it’s easy, fun, and will encourage you to get outdoors.
Find wildlife. It can be any wild plant, insects, mushrooms, animal, fungi, or any other evidence of life (shells, scat, fur, tracks, feathers, nests) found in your neighborhood, home, backyard, or even through your windows. You might be surprised by how many insects thrive in the nooks and crannies around you.
We will be using the iNaturalist digital platform to record observations, under this project. -iNaturalist link
Saskatoon is now registered for the very first time ever to participate in the 2022 event – so we really need your help to highlight the City of Saskatoon area! If you have never used iNaturalist before, it is easy as 1-2-3! We will have virtual zoom webinars before the event, so stay tuned!
