Help us Document Pollinators on Campus
You can help us conserve pollinators on campus just by taking a photo with your phone and uploading it to iNaturalist! iNaturalist is a contributory science platform where anyone can upload photos of on organism for identification and documentation by a community of experts and citizen scientists. iNaturalist data is frequently used by researchers and conservationists.
Photos of pollinating insects on campus can help us identify which species are present, and allow us to better understand our campus’s pollinator community and what support they need.
