Fall Native Plant Exploration with Jim Natale

Join Jim Natale, naturalist and amateur botanist, on a ramble to identify all types of plants in their Fall beauty. Jim, who is an expert identifier, has been submitting observations to the iNaturalist app for six years. He has logged almost 39,000 observations and is an official identifier. On the walk, he will demonstrate how you can upload your observations to support the Wild Lyme Project and its mission to catalog and compare the biodiversity of preserves protected by the Town of Lyme, The Nature Conservancy, and the Lyme Land Trust. Participants wishing to record observations to iNat should bring a smartphone, camera, or both. All skill levels are welcome, from experienced to those who have never used the iNaturalist app.

Jim Natale is owner of Wilder Gardens, LLC, whose mission is to establish a regional native plant garden community, exposing the people to the beauty of our natural world and promoting the stewardship of our natural areas for the benefit of wildlife and mankind.

This event is part of the Lyme Land Trust Wild Lyme Project. You are welcome to join the Mini-Bioblitz team to be part of more events like this. https://www.lymelandtrust.org/lyme-land-trust-bioblitz-team/
