We’re thrilled to share a new way to connect our love of virtual nature with the real world around us: introducing The Nature Collective’s ongoing projects on iNaturalist!
iNaturalist is a free platform where you can share your photos of plants, animals, insects, (and more!) while contributing to real scientific research. No experience needed, just curiosity and a love for the natural world.
Here’s a peek at our current projects:
- TNC Backyard Birds & Beyond – Look up and share your real-life bird sightings!
- TNC SL Fungifinders – For the fungi-curious among us—document mushrooms and more in the wild!
- TNC Pollinators in the Wild – Spot and share native bees and other pollinators in your area.

You can also stop by the TNC Commons in-world to check out our new info display board!

Let’s reconnect with nature—one observation at a time. 🌼📸🌿
