New student recruits for Townbelt project
It was great to have 23 keen students from the University of Otago Botany Summer School descend on the Woodhaugh Garden sector of the Townbelt last Monday. They started with an introduction to NatureWatch in one of the Botany labs before walking down to the magnificent swamp forest remnant of Woodhaugh. Here they split into several groups, each with a focus on a particular plant life-form. Most chose to use the iNaturalist app on their phones and were soon snapping away. After about an hour of gathering observations they returned to computers in the lab and reviewed and curated their observations. Here's hoping for lots more observations from this group.

THANK YOU for not just using the app but also going back to the computer lab to look at the data. Too many folks think that iNaturalist/NatureWatch is simply an app, but the app is nothing but a data collector.
Much obliged for using this tool effectively with these students! Thanks!
