Kid-Friendly Fridays: eNaturalist for Nature Questions
Friday, February 1, 2008 at 07:17AM eNaturalist is a great place to meet different animals, like this fawn, and learn about why they do the things they do. Naturalists are people who help others learn about the natural world through talks, nature walks and, with eNaturalist, answering questions about nature online.
This site, part of the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History, is where kids can get help identifying plants and animals they’ve met or see what other kids are curious about in the natural world.
Questions might be about how insects feed, how and where birds fly or what to do when you find an injured wild animal. Participants write and send in photos related to their questions and eNaturalist helps find answers that can be shared and help everyone learn more about the environment. Check it out online at eNaturalist.
