Diario del proyecto FNCB iNaturalist

Our March field trip was held on Sunday 3rd. Marilyn Hewish (@mhewish), assisted by our own @enfieldservices, led us on walks through parts of the Long Forest Flora and Fauna Reserve. Marilyn has been observing and recording the biodiversity of the area for many years, and her knowledge and expertise was greatly appreciated by all attendees.

Marilyn has created iNaturalist projects that collect all observations made in the reserve, by anyone, at any time. Over 1,000 different species have been observed. Here is her umbrella project, from which you can access a project including observations that still need identification, and another for all fully identified observations (i.e. those which are research grade): Biodiversity of Long Forest.

Thanks to our leaders for keeping us all on the right track, and showing us a fascinating place that was new to many of us.
