Here's an announcement from Jon Rebman about an opportunity to receive free training and participate in a survey of plants in local canyons:
When: 9-Noon, Sunday, 7 April 2024
Where: San Diego Natural History Museum
We will be holding a Botany Volunteer Training at the San Diego Natural History Museum on Sunday, April 7 from 9am-Noon for the Healthy Canyons Initiative. The goal of Healthy Canyons is to conduct multidisciplinary biological surveys to determine the current state of biodiversity in local canyons, engage local communities, and contribute to urban greenspace conservation policy and action. As a botany volunteer, you will be helping collect data on plant diversity in selected canyons. The training will cover how to use relevant digital apps (iNaturalist and FieldMaps) and specific training on plants we will be documenting such as sensitive, lost, and invasive plant species.
Please note, the first half of the class will be in the classroom ...more ↓
