About this Event
Please join the Biodiversity Inventory at Western (BIW) for a guided biodiversity hike along Medway Creek and Thames River. We will be focusing on all aspects of biodiversity and will demonstrate how to use the iNaturalist community science app to identify species from photos and contribute to the City Nature Challenge. Highlights will include birds and possibly spawning fish.
This event will be led by Tim Hain, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Western University.
Location: 1491 Richmond St, London, ON N6G 0J4

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. This hike will be on uneven terrain and is not wheelchair accessible.
