Attention nature lovers, Dr. John Friel, Director of the Alabama Museum of Natural History, will be giving a free class on using iNaturalist at Ruffner Mountain in Birmingham on May 6th. It should be a blast, and participants are sure to see some cool animals and plants during the hands-on portion of the class.

This program will provide an overview of iNaturalist, and how it can best be used for existing projects or new projects designed by the participants in this course. It will combine an introductory presentation about iNaturalist as well as a hands-on session where participants will make and share their own nature observations at Ruffner Mountain using the iNaturalist app on their own smart devices.

In addition to learning about the nuts and bolts of the iNaturalist platform, participants will also receive instruction on best practices that will facilitate identifications of unknown plants and animals, and improve the quality and utility of their iNaturalist observations. We recommend you bring your own smart phone or device.
