The Fairfield Association have just set up an exciting new project to record many of the different observations being made of plants and wildlife in Fairfield Nature Reserve and in the Orchard.
Anyone can take part
You just need to install the free iNaturalist app on your smartphone. Then, if you see something interesting, use the iNaturalist camera to take a photograph. Just make sure you have allowed the app to record your location.
If you aren’t certain what you have photographed, don’t worry. The app will make suggestions, and once its uploaded, naturalists from all over the world will also help identify what it is.
Everyone will learn
As long as your location is included, your observation will automatically become part of the Fairfield project and enable everyone to see what is being recorded in the area.
This will add tremendously to our knowledge of the area and the changes taking place. It’s also a great way to learn about nature and what there is around us.
