Phenology in Focus: Exploring Plant Cycles with iNaturalist

With iNaturalist

Did you know that every plant observation you log on iNaturalist contributes to understanding seasonal changes? Join this free webinar to explore the fascinating world of phenology—the study of seasonal events like flowering, fruiting, and leaf changes.

Each plant photo you upload holds valuable data that helps researchers track climate patterns, species behaviour, and ecological shifts. Even if you’re not out making new observations, you can contribute by adding annotations to existing records.

This webinar will highlight:
🌿 Why phenology is critical for understanding nature
📸 How your iNaturalist observations support scientific research
🖊️ Easy ways to get involved, from field observations to adding annotations

This session is part of Phenobase, a project supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, helping to integrate iNaturalist data into global phenology research. A recording will be available for all registrants—sign up to receive it!
