March 24, 2020 Chapter Meeting
Discover nature and become a contributor to citizen science program with iNaturalist applications. Craig Hensley, Texas Park & Wildlife Nature Tracker Biologist will teach us about the amazing iNaturalist tool and how to use it to identify and document plants, butterflies, birds and more with your smart device, still camera or sound recording. Craig will also touch base on TPWD – Texas Nature Tracker and 2020 City Nature Challenge (CNC). The City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities across the globe. It’s a BioBlitz-style competition where cities are in a contest against each other to see who can make the most observations of nature, who can find the most species, and who can engage the most people.
