SUMMARY:iNaturalist Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 22 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. iNaturalist Training Workshop: Learn how to use iNaturalist to document local biodiversity and contribute to citizen science.  This workshop will cover how to record observations\, get identification help\, explore data\, join projects\, and take effective photos using the iNaturalist app (available for iPhone\, iPad\, and Android). iNaturalist is a widely used online platform for sharing biodiversity information and supporting scientific research. Participants will learn how to apply it to projects such as BioBlitzes\, natural resource inventories\, school ecology studies\, and initiatives like the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network. Presented by Haley Andreozzi of UNH Cooperative Extension and hosted by Green Mountain Conservation Group\, Chocorua Lake Conservancy\, Appalachian Mountain Club\, the Tamworth Conservation Commission\, and Cook Memorial Library.

It is a time to raise awareness for pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them. This year\, GMCG will host a bioblitz in the Ossipee Watershed and beyond with the Appalachian Mountain Club. Anyone can join the Pollinator Week Bioblitz on iNaturalist and be a part of this community science project to help collect data on the distribution of pollinators and the plants they depend upon.  This project is easy to join\, and consists of taking pictures of pollinators and the flowers they are visiting and uploading them to iNaturalist to be included in the Pollinator Interactions on Plants (PIP) of the NE US’s Journal.  Submit your observations and photos from your backyard or a town forest\, national forest or other conservation property any day during Pollinator Week from June 22-28\, 2026. Your efforts can contribute to our understanding of pollinator populations and help inform conservation efforts locally and globally.
