Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Discovery Station – Connect with Nature Through Your Phone
Drop by Ranger Shaun’s City Naturalist app Workshop to find out about some of the best apps on the market for identifying the plants and animals you see in the parks!
Swing by the Mcdowell Mountain Regional Park Nature Center today and kick off the City Nature Challenge! Learn about some of the apps the Rangers use to help us identify plants and critters on the fly as well as help build a citizen science database that can be used by researchers to help understand biodiversity in our parks! Find out more about the challenge, how to participate, learn how to use the apps, what it means to be a citizen scientist and probably even see some cool birds, bugs, snakes, or all of the above! (And then you might leave the nature center!)
