Community Science

Before heading down to Glen Canyon, download iNaturalist to your mobile device and join the Glen Canyon Community Science Project. In iNaturalist, you will be able to collect observations of any life you find, from lichens to bighorn sheep!

You can also take pictures on your phone and upload these to the Community Science project after your trip. If you prefer to collect data in other apps like Merlin, you are able transfer these files to iNaturalist.

If you are interested in collecting other data, please reach out to info@glencanyon.org. This can include beaver surveying, photo matching, and/or other projects that describe Glen Canyon’s ecological and geological restoration.
