A fun way to explore your own backyard or natural area while staying connected to your McMaster community and sharing your discoveries with others. Go out and record the species around you and add it to Nature at McMaster 2020. This collection project is open to all McMaster University staff, students, faculty, and alumni. Let’s see how many nature observations we can record this year! Sign up for the free iNaturalist app and join the Nature at McMaster 2020 project. Any questions or ideas please email: nature@mcmaster.ca

iNaturalist is a place where you can record and share what you see in nature, meet other nature watchers, and learn about Canada’s wildlife. By participating as a citizen scientist you can contribute to a growing wealth of knowledge of Canadian species and help conserve our natural world. There is a naturalist in all of us, from those of us viewing birds and squirrels in our backyards to biologists, from hikers to city strollers, from school kids collecting leaves or rocks to experts collecting museum specimens.
Every observation can contribute to biodiversity science, from the rarest butterfly to the most common backyard weed. We share your findings with scientific data repositories like the NatureServe Canada, Canadensys and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to help scientists find and use your data. All you have to do is observe.
iNaturalist Canada is led by the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) along with Parks Canada, NatureServe Canada and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in collaboration with iNaturalist.org which is a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society. https://inaturalist.ca/
