iNaturalist has become one of the world’s most popular nature apps and the Canadian Wildlife Federation has led the charge in bringing it to Canada. But the strength behind iNaturalist is thanks to a wonderful community of people contributing observations and identifications. An observation of a species is most valuable when it comes along with an accurate species ID. And to help with that, thousands of people play an extremely valuable role, helping identify observations across Canada. This webinar will not be teaching how to identify a species, but you don’t have to be an expert to contribute: you can probably tell the difference between an American Robin and a Blue Jay or a squirrel from a chipmunk. But you can be an expert, helping to distinguish between species like an Orange-belted Bumblebee and a Red-belted Bumblebee. You’ll then be equipped and ready to contribute to the City Nature Challenge, the largest annual initiative on iNaturalist, happening April 30 to May 9, 2021.

Every year, more than 1,000 marine animal incidents are reported in Canada. Sean and Tonya will discuss the importance of responding to marine animal emergencies, and the essential conservation role you and other Canadians can play by reporting incidents. Sadly, some of these incidents have tragic endings. When a marine animal dies, a necropsy (or autopsy) can help us better understand and conserve marine wildlife. Tonya will share her experience participating in North Atlantic Right Whale necropsies, and we’ll discuss ways we can work together to conserve this important and critically endangered species.

Gardening with wildlife in mind is a fantastic opportunity to not only help your garden flourish but to also support wildlife and ecosystems which provide us pollination and pest control services, among others. Best of all, it’s easy to do and beautiful too! The Canadian Wildlife Federation’s Gardening for Wildlife program has webinars, articles, tools, posters and more to help you discover, appreciate and support your local and migratory wild neighbours. CWF also has a Garden Habitat Certification where we give official recognition to those whose efforts are supporting wildlife.

This guide is designed to help managers of rights-of-way (ROW) in southeastern Canada begin taking a different approach to managing and restoring habitat. Roadsides, utility corridors, industrial lands, solar installations, wind farms and pipelines could all be managed to create and maintain a network of thousands of hectares of pollinator habitat. This guide aims to outline best practices for improved management of ROW to benefit pollinators, as well as practical methods of habitat restoration suitable for road and ROW use. By changing our management and increasing habitat restoration on ROW, the survival and recovery of pollinators and other wildlife can be supported at a broad scale.
