Learn more and register for tickets here. \nThis webinar is presented by Merav Vonshak and Paul Heiple. The focus of this presentation will be on two subjects: \n\niNaturalist projects – how to create them\, how to use them\, and why! We will give examples of some of our favorite projects\, and hopefully entice you to upgrade the way you use iNaturalist. Also\, we will create a project together and add some observations!\nSerpentine grasslands – Our main topic will be serpentine grasslands and the soil they form on. We will have a guest expert joining us for this section\, Paul Heiple\, who is a geologist and a plant expert. He will discuss the characteristics of serpentine soil and how only certain plants can grow on it\, forming our serpentine grassland habitat that is home to many endemic plants.\n\n  URL:https://baynature.org/event/naturalist-training-inaturalist-projects-serpentine-grasslands/ LOCATION:Webinar\, CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Bio-Blitz,Citizen Science,Education,Geology,grasslands,Outdoor Education,Presentation,Volunteer Opportunity / Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://baynature.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/220320-Oak-on-serpentine-Deb-Kramer-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240211T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240211T113000 DTSTAMP:20240328T124833 CREATED:20240127T000136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240127T000136Z UID:10003404-1707642000-1707651000@baynature.org SUMMARY:BioBlitz at Hellyer Park DESCRIPTION:Join Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful\, Bioblitz Club\, Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society\, and Peninsula Open Space Trust for a BioBlitz during Student Volunteering Week! A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time.
