#TMN Tuesday – Texas Nature Trackers Mini Series – AT
February 6 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Title: iNaturalist Train the Trainer Workshop
Date: February 6, 11am – 1pm
Speakers: Craig Hensley and Wendy Anderson, Texas Nature Trackers Biologists, TPWD
Description: The Texas Nature Trackers (TNT) program is looking for Master Naturalists interested in becoming TNT certified iNaturalist workshop trainers across Texas. During this workshop we will provide you the training needed to get started as an iNaturalist trainer for your chapter, community and/or region. As a pre-requisite, we are looking for individuals that are already consistent users of iNaturalist, having a good understanding of the platform, and have an interest in teaching others in your community to engage with the platform. We’ll provide a quick overview of the app, provide an in-depth overview of the website and how data are used by TPWD, and finally tips and tricks for teaching it to others. We will provide attendees intending to become workshop trainers with a PowerPoint presentation to take home that will get you started. Should you accept this challenge, you will become an advocate not only for its use as an educational tool within your chapter but also for promoting community science and better understanding of the distribution of the state’s flora and fauna.
Second Tuesday of each month at noon, the TMN State Office will offer an hour-long virtual advanced training event.
These will be recorded each month and shared to the TMNTuesday website.
TMN Tuesdays are open to the public – all are welcome to attend.
VMS Code: AT: TMN Tuesday (live or watch a recorded session in the same year.)
