Woody Plants in Winter: An Intro to iNaturalist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, Jan. 31, 10-12 noon. Led by Dan Harper, sponsored by the Cohasset Conservation Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come explore the winter woods using iNaturalist, a nonprofit online platform that helps you learn about nature while connecting you with other nature lovers. We’ll start indoors with an introduction to iNaturalist. Then we\u2019ll head outdoors, to identify trees and shrubs in Great Brewster Woods and Dean’s Meadow, a 25-acre tract of woodland next to Cohasset Common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 a.m., Introduction to iNaturalist,<\/strong> Carriage House Nursery School, 23 N. Main St. Cohasset. Learn the power of the iNaturalist platform, which offers computer vision identification suggestions that are checked by human experts who volunteer their time. If possible, install the iNaturalist app on your smartphone in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 a.m., Woody Plants in Winter,<\/strong> start at Carriage House Nursery School, 23 N. Main St. Cohasset. After an introduction to identifying woody plants in winter, we’ll go out and find some plants to identify. We’ll use the classic field guide Woody Plants in Winter<\/em> by Earl L. Core and Nelle P. Ammons, as well as other field guides. If you have a 10x hand lens, or a macro lens for your phone, please bring it along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All ages are welcome, but<\/strong> persons under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Please note that iNaturalist users under the age of 12 must obtain parental permission to use the platform here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather cancellation:<\/strong> Major winter storm cancels. Otherwise, dress for the weather. If it’s super cold or wet, we’ll spend minimal time outdoors, and bring samples indoors to identify in comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
