iNaturalist Project
Throughout the Magnetawan River Watershed
Did you know that MWLT is on iNaturalist? Go explore nature and let us know what you see using the iNaturalist program. If you don’t have iNaturalist already, it is easy to download the app to your phone (or any device). Take a photo of wild plants or animals and any observation you make within our boundary will automatically be added. However, make sure we are "trusted" with your coordinates. To do this:
Please head over to our project and ensure that this is still the case! To do this go to:
1) Magnetawan Watershed Land Trust project
2) Join Project (If you've joined in the past, make sure you still are!)
3) Click * Your Membership*
4) Click Yes (if you want!) to receive journal notifications
5) Click Yes, for any of my observations under "Trust this project with hidden coordinates".
6) Click Save!
The iNaturalist app will help you with the identifications, so it's a great tool to learn about the species around you. Your input will contribute towards conservation initiatives for MWLT in the Magnetawan River watershed.
Be sure to keep an eye on our social media feed and website for challenges (we may even have a fun prize!). Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We can be reached at info@mwlt.org.
