Do I need to be familiar with the species already to participate in iNaturalist?
You do not have to be an expert to participate in iNaturalist. The application helps you identify the species you encounter.
Many observers and identifiers are present on the application to validate and provide details about the different plant and animal species that are shared.
How does iNaturalist contribute to science?
All observations made at a Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse National Historic Site GPS point are uploaded to the iNaturalist-Pointe-au-Père Ligthhouse National Historic Site project, which is part of Parks Canada’s larger iNaturalist project. The data then become available to the scientific community... and to the public!
Remember to keep a safe distance from wildlife, never feed wildlife and stay on designated trails. Refer to the section “Top tips to respect wildlife and stay safe” .
