About iNaturalist and TFNC
Since June 2021, observations from excursions have been recorded as projects on iNaturalist. Please use this link to see them https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/tasmanian-field-naturalists-club-tfnc.
More observations made on excursions can be added at any time, so it is never too late.
If you are familiar with any of the species observed, we would appreciate if you could either agree with the species ID or suggest the possible ID so the observation can become “research quality” and available to other users.
The link also allows you to become a member of the TFNC umbrella project so you can receive notifications from iNaturalist when excursions are updated.
