“iNaturalist: Technology for the Master Naturalist”
iNaturalist has emerged as the top reporting electronic tool for tracking, identifying and sharing wildlife sightings. As one of the leading participants of the program, Sam Kieschnick has put together a tutorial for fellow Master Naturalists to join this Citizen Science project. For educators, iNaturalist is also a way to help get young people interested in exploring the outdoors.
Sam Kieschnick enjoys teaching people about nature. There is beauty in nature, and Sam loves to share it with everyone he meets. While studying for his Master’s Degree from Tarleton State University, he analyzed the genetics of pocket gophers – those little rodents that burrow into the ground. Sam also traveled to Puerto Rico on a month-long research trip to study how snails respond to hurricanes. He has collected plant specimens from all around Texas and enjoys finding as many different species as he can.

The Indian Trail Chapter is part of the statewide Texas Master Naturalist Volunteer Program of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

This program is part of a series of “no cost” “open to the public” Master Naturalist programs offered the fourth Monday (generally) of each month, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. Please bring a friend!

How life flourishes in nature when we leave it alone!

Jim West, a retired graphic designer, has always had a strong interest in conservation and photography. His focus as a designer is in the composition. He wants the content of his photos to be an entry for the viewer into the natural world. Jim will provide a presentation of his photos to show what nature does when we leave it alone.
