🌿 Discovering Biodiversity Through Citizen Science

There is a whole world moving around us often unnoticed 🌿

A bird calling from a tree 🐦

A plant growing between two paths 🌱

An insect moving through the soil 🐞

Each observation can become a small piece of a much larger picture.

Join us at AuroOrchard for an experiential exploration of citizen science, biodiversity, and climate resilience 🌍

We’ll discover how everyday observations can contribute to citizen science, learn the basics of the iNaturalist app, and explore the DPSIR framework as a way of understanding the relationships between human activity, environmental change, climate impacts, and possible responses.

🚶 Together, we’ll take a guided walk around AuroOrchard, observing and documenting the biodiversity we encounter along the way.

This is an invitation to slow down, look closely, and see the land through a different lens.
