Community Woodlands Association
iNaturalist, in the opinion of presenter, Rhyddian Knight, a very accessible means for woodland users to record nature based sightings. The mobile phone has become a ubiquitous item, in the pocket or rucksack of most of the population. As such, this app is an extremely user friendly tool for promoting citizen science. It can also serve as a repository for data collected at specialist events in a format that can be easily viewed and interacted with by the public.
In this session participants 
- Gain an understanding of how to set up a geolocated iNaturalist project for their community woodland
- Learn how Glenan Wood uses the application and how the Cowal rainforest restoration project uses the data as part of its umbrella project
