Learn how to identify your local wildlife!

Naturalist Ketih Tomlinson will show you how easy it can be to properly use field guides in order to identify a variety of wildlife in our region including birds, plants, insects, and mushrooms. Learn about mnemonics and "field marks" which make it easier to differentiate similar species. This should dramatically increase your confidence in knowing what to look for when using these incredible and detailed resources that we are lucky to have at our disposal thanks to countless biologists and naturalists.
