Explore nature and experience the biodiversity in Alabama State Parks!
From the foothills of the Appalachian mountains to the Gulf of Mexico, the Alabama State Parks system hosts unique landscapes rich with caves, streams and rivers, lakes and ponds, forests and fields, swamp and marsh, and white sandy beaches. These landscapes provide unique habitat to an array of plants and wildlife species. The Alabama State Parks iNaturalist project will be used to extend the knowledge of our rich natural history by helping to create more extensive species lists for each Alabama State Park.
Seek by iNaturalist is kid friendly in that no activity or location in this new app becomes a record on Inaturalist.org. it uses the same computer vision model as iNaturailst to suggest identifications based on photographs taken by the users. It also suggests species that have been found in the area (based on an obscured location data) and recorded on iNaturalist. Seek works because of the observations submitted and identified by the iNaturalist community, so it might work best in areas with active iNaturalsits communities.
