Nature Identification Workshop

Visit Gore Place and learn about our new project on iNaturalist. iNaturalist is an online platform that allows users to record observations, identify living things, and contribute to a body of data used by scientists and researchers around the world. We are launching a project to record as many of the living things as we can find on our grounds. Join us for this in-person program to learn more about our iNaturalist project and start making observations.

No experience? No problem! During the first portion of the program, we will learn about iNaturalist and how to make and upload observations. We will then move out to the grounds to practice.

Many users use their smartphones to make and upload observations. While a smartphone is not required to take part in this program, we suggest that at least one member of your party has a smartphone with the iNaturalist app installed. The app is free to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play and you can find a guide on getting started here. This workshop is designed for adults and teens. Children are welcome, but you must be 13 years or older to create an iNaturalist account. This event is free but you must register to attend because space is limited.

The first half hour of this program will take place indoors at our Carriage House. Participants must wear masks or face coverings while indoors. Participants are required to wear masks at outdoor museum programs if they have not been vaccinated, according to state and local regulations. Gore Place staff will wear masks at all times.

If you or your child require an accommodation to more fully participate in this program, please contact us before registering.
