Welcome aboard!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the pilot edition of "Eyes on iNaturalist" in PANP!

I'll start by introducing myself. I'm Ffion, and I work in Resource Conservation (aka Res Con) as a Resource Management Officer. I'm mostly responsible for vegetation monitoring and restoration work, although I help out with other wildlife and aquatic work, as well as visitor safety and human wildlife conflict, as needed. I particularly love working in the park's grasslands and finding new grass species (it's a weird hobby, I know...).

I'm really keen for everyone (staff and visitors alike) to have the opportunity to learn about, experience, and appreciate the park. I've been an avid iNaturalist user for a few years, and I think it's the perfect tool for experienced naturalists, complete beginners, and everyone else in between. You might notice details you never have before, hone your photography skills, learn some new species and meet other staff with common interests.

Along the way, you will definitely contribute to our knowledge of biodiversity in the park, and you might even detect a new species, a species at risk, or an invasive species that we need to control.

If you would like to meet your fellow iNatters working in PANP, please introduce yourself in the comments below (keeping in mind this is a public forum).

See you soon!

Ffion
