I’m a regular contributor to WOWnet, a professional forester, a mom of two boys, but not a woodland owner. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic my family adopted a local, neglected woodlot and got to pretend it was ours by working hard, creating a socially distanced community and making the world--we hope--a little better.

iNaturalist is a great app and an online naturalist community, available for free at your smartphone store. iNaturalist allows you to quickly record your observation of anything that's ever lived (plants, animals, insects, cones, tracks, etc).
