Using iNaturalist for Landcare

Using iNaturalist for landcare

Thursday 28 August 2025 1.30 - 3:00 pm online on Zoom

A conversation that has been coming up at WALN often is how can we properly utilise technology to make Landcarers lives easier? There are many interesting developments in the app and technology space and iNaturalist is one of them. It is so much more than just uploading photos to a database, iNaturalist aids in cutting edge research including changes to species distribution, finding new species and even rediscovering extinct plant species.

This Landcare Builds Skills session will cover the basics of how to use iNaturalist. We will then explore the potential functionality for member groups, farmers and individuals as Thomas shows us how to set up a survey, how to find which species are in flower and how you can contribute to Australia’s most comprehensive and accessible database of biodiversity ever produced!

Join Member Services Manager Eve, PhD Candidate Thomas Mesaglio, Juliet Seers and Cam Slatyer from CSIRO as we dive into iNaturalist and all of the amazing things it can do for landcarers.

We look forward to seeing you there!
