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. Then it can be shared with others and your data can be used by the scientific community! 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!
