Join In: Discover, Share What Lives on Albany Hill
Get involved in "citizen science" right here in Albany with Friends of Five Creeks and iNaturalist.org.
Share your photos and sightings of animals and plants from and adjacent !
By joining Friends of Five Creeks' new citizen-science project, you will build up knowledge that will help in managing this amazing "urban wilderness." At the same time, you contribute to a worldwide database on biodiversity!
It's easy; instructions are on the site. You upload a photo if you have one, and tell us where and when you saw the animal or plant and what it was doing.
Find out what's happening in Albanywith free, real-time updates from Patch.
You don't have to know the name! The community at iNaturalist—the software that powers this and many other citizen-science projects—will help you identify it.
Among this project's goals are to acquire needed knowledge about the Monarch butterflies that use the hill.
would welcome a volunteer who wants to "curate” this project. Email Susan Schwartz at f5creeks@aol.com.
