ReGreen Springfield to Host Free, Hands-on iNaturalist Training Workshop

SPRINGFIELD — ReGreen Springfield will host a free, hands-on iNaturalist training workshop on Saturday, May 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at ReGreen Springfield, Building 101, 1 Federal St., Springfield, MA, in the second-floor classroom.

iNaturalist is a free community science app that helps users identify species, record observations, and contribute biodiversity data that can support conservation, education, and local land stewardship.

The workshop is designed for beginners, seasoned environmentalists, and anyone who wants to feel more comfortable identifying components of the natural world around them. Participants will learn how to create an iNaturalist account, take useful observation photos, upload observations, explore identifications, and contribute to local community science projects.

The training is open to volunteers, students, educators, gardeners, naturalists, and community members interested in learning more about the plants and wildlife around them. No prior experience is needed.
