Passive Programming with iNaturalist
Encourage patrons to discover nature, contribute to community science, and explore the biodiversity of Montana through simple, self-guided activities.
Getting Started
General:
Montana iNaturalist Discovery
A self-paced activity inviting your patrons to explore local ecosystems and log observations.
Examples:
Make observations in different habitats
Identify another user’s observation
Take it to the next level with interactive variations
Citizen Science
The programs below will offer different variations on the citizen science theme in Montana at the micro and macro level. Some will feature the state as a whole, others will be so specific you can narrow it down to what is observable outside the window in your library. Some of these projects will encourage your library to
create an iNaturalist project limited to your local footprint, or area while others will rely on the
Montana iNaturalist Place Page.
