Claire Peterson Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi everyone, I received a phone call from Monica Day with the MSU Extension and she was curious if there was a smartphone app out there that was similar to MISIN but allowed you to submit observations of rare or endangered species? Does anyone know if the state of Michigan has something like that or if there is one that covers a larger area (Midwest, whole US)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Grzesiak Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 The closest thing I can think of would be iNaturalist, which seems to be taking the ecology world by storm; it's not official, though, like MISIN, just a tracking app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Grzesiak Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 In addition, it's something to be cautious about; rare plants can attract too many visitors, leading them to be "loved to death" or even vandalized. They're probably best off telling a local DNR office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
