I first heard about iNaturalist from an "It's okay to be smart" video, and it has become a great way for my family to spend time together outdoors. We also use the app quite a lot to help identify plants and wildlife as we work to replace our lawn with a focus on native plants. We currently have two pollinator gardens, a shade garden, a pocket prairie patch, and have more big plans in the works. I'm a member of the Wild Ones Central Wisconsin chapter, and enjoy meeting other folks passionate about native gardening and landscaping!
Growing up, my family participated in the Citizen Lake Monitoring Network and Aquatic Invasive Species monitoring, so I'm enjoying this new opportunity to participate in citizen science again.
