How Identifications work on iNaturalist:
- How identifications contribute to the observation’s Community Taxon
- How to add an identification at any taxonomic level
How to use the website’s Identify page to help others:
- Use filters to find observations you can help with

Opportunity for Q&A: At the end of the webinar, there will be a Q&A session. Please submit your questions when you register and we’ll do our best to address them.
This is part one of a series about identifying observations on iNaturalist and is designed for those unfamiliar with identifying on iNaturalist. However, even an experienced identifier may learn something new! And it will get you prepared for December’s ID-a-thon!
