At this program, MDC Naturalist Morgan Wyatt will talk about the variety of nature-oriented apps that can help people identify plants and animals and can give anglers, hikers, campers, hunters, and everyone else who enjoys the outdoors a greater appreciation of the natural world.
Though this program is free, registration is required to participate using the link above. Registrants must provide an e-mail, so a program link can be sent to them. This program will include a chat-based question-and-answer period where participants can interact with the presenters.
People can stay informed about upcoming programs at MDC’s Springfield Conservation Nature Center and other MDC facilities by signing up for text alerts and e-mail bulletins. People who have questions about how to sign up for text alerts from the nature center can call 417-888-4237.
