Plant Finder 2.0 with Green Elk Rapids
May 24, 2025
Green Elk Rapids is a local volunteer organization committed to raising awareness of environmental issues. This Saturday, May 31, they’re hosting a community science session to help you get to know the plants in your backyard. From 10am to 12pm at the Elk Rapids Harbor gazebo, volunteers will explore how to use iNaturalist, a popular community science app that helps identify flora and fauna. iNaturalist can help you separate native species from non-native and invasive species, just in time for late spring gardening. The group meets monthly at the Old Council Chambers, and the public is welcome to join. Learn more about Green Elk Rapids’ efforts at greenelkrapids.org.
