Intro to Forest Tree and Plant ID

Join guest expert Jennika Hunsinger (Medway Community Forest Co-operative) on a field trip focused on exploring the protected forests along the North Mountain.

Participants should bring a phone or camera to collect photo observations to post on iNaturalist

The City Nature Challenge is a friendly annual international challenge to see which city can record and upload the most observations of wildlife species using the free iNaturalist platform. From the tiniest bug to the tallest tree, from belugas to birds to beavers, participants are encouraged to take pictures of all the flora and fauna they can find. By doing so, they’re contributing to an international database used to track biodiversity around the world. It’s a great way to turn a simple walk in the woods into truly impactful “citizen science” activity.
