What is Seek? And how do you get started?
Seek (by iNaturalist) is a kid-safe app that helps you explore nature and get to know your local species!
Seek identifies and names plants, animals, and fungi by using the camera on a phone or tablet device. Seek also provides facts about the species you observe to deepen your understanding.
You can use Seek anywhere! Try your backyard, local park, or a nature reserve. Exciting new challenges are released monthly.
To try Seek, ask your parent or educator to visit the iNaturalist website. Or, they can click here for more information.
