Explore Nature

Join us by becoming scientists, and connect with nature while having fun!

The Township's Green Team is encouraging West Lincoln residents to join the fun and contribute to the iNaturalist database of urban biodiversity. There is no cost to participate.

What is iNaturalist?

iNaturalist is an online social network of people sharing biodiversity information to help each other learn about nature. Participants can enjoy nature while making important discoveries that will help scientists better understand and protect nature. Visit iNaturalist.ca to learn more.
