Training and event updates!
Trainings Thursday and Saturday this week!
Spring has sprung, and time feels like it's speeding by much faster as the growing season ramps up. This week's upcoming virtual iNaturalist/CNC trainings tonight and Saturday still have room for participants. Join our Zoom sessions (links below) if you are interested in learning how to use iNaturalist, and how to participate in the 2021 Fort Wayne Area City Nature Challenge, our second year! A copy of the training can be emailed to anyone who wants to participate but can't attend.
Anyone using iNaturalist in Allen and surrounding counties between April 30-May 3 are automatically participants in the CNC, and the following 6 days you can continue to identify what you and others have found.
It's just Fort Wayne and Indianapolis representing Indiana this year, so it would be great to expand our reach! It's shaping up to be a great event. We have new partners and unique activities. Sign up on our website/social media pages, or click the links below to register.
