Join us on iNaturalist
No experience is necessary to participate in this citizen science platform! Your involvement is a critical component to research in the Park. The Park uses data from this platform for a variety of research projects. For example, previous years' iNaturalist observations are being used to map distributions of vulnerable populations in the Smokies. Please consider participating on iNaturalist during Pilgrimage and throughout the year.
About iNaturalist
iNaturalist observations have been used by Park Scientists to create models to better understand the distribution of different species in the Park. Please come to the 2023 event prepared to help the Park collect even more data with the iNaturalist app or register for one of our iNaturalist training programs!
