Identifying Trees and Fungi with iNaturalist
Want to learn to identify trees and fungi? Looking to learn and explore more species in the Waterloo Region? Come and join us for an introduction to iNaturalist, a free app that will help you identify and narrow down different species of plants and fungi that you find. You will need a smartphone with data to access the functions. After a 10-minute demonstration, we will walk around Huron Natural Area to test out the identification features. You do not need any prior experience with plant or fungi identification.
