Welcome to iNaturalist.ca, Canada's gateway to a global
species data sharing community
How It Works
Record your
observations
Share with
fellow naturalists
Discuss your
findings
iNaturalist.ca is a member of the iNaturalist Network which means that observations
submitted here are added to the global iNaturalist.org database
Contribute to Science
Every observation can contribute to biodiversity science, from the rarest butterfly to the most common backyard weed. We share your findings with scientific data repositories like the NatureServe Canada, Canadensys and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to help scientists find and use your data. All you have to do is observe.

Who Uses iNaturalist?
We both spend most of our lives outdoors — hiking, biking and paddling. We're primarily birders but like to know a little about everything.Kathy Webb and Bill Depew
I have extensive experience working in the Northern Great Plains of Canada including Parkland, Boreal, and Mixedgrass Prairie ecoregions. Post-doctoral research in the United States has extended my experience to the sagebrush steppe of the Northern Great Basin in Eastern Oregon and arid grasslands throughout New Mexico state, including the Chihuahuan Desert, Shortgrass Prairie, and Montane grasslands.Lysandra Pyle, PhD
I live in Vancouver, British Columbia. In my day job, I'm a professor specializing in conservation ecology at Simon Fraser University. I'm also the Chair of COSEWIC — the Committee on the Status of Endangered Species in Canada.John Reynolds

"As a child I was constantly outside searching for bugs and other creatures. Unfortunately that need to explore faded away as I became older. Now that I’ve been hiking more often, iNat has helped bring back that side of myself. I don’t just look at a plant and see a plant. I get close enough to see what could be crawling on that plant, and I want to know everything about it."
