Become a Citizen Scientist with the help of the iNaturalist app! 

Join a Ranger on a walk down the Aranama Nature Trail as we use the free app to identify plants and animals we come across. Our discoveries will be shared through the app, where they can then be used by scientists to learn more about the world around us! This is a great way to get kids involved in nature, satisfy your own curiosity, and help scientists get a better understanding of species diversity and distribution. So get those phones out and let's explore!
