iNaturalist Ambassador Community Chat

Hey All,

Good to be among fellow huge nerds :nerd_face: haha.
My name is Professor Sean Patton, an Ecology Adjunct at Ringling College in Sarasota FL. My company Stocking Savvy does wetlands restoration and management from Pensacola to Miami and sometimes outside of that. I also ran the Sarasota Manatee EcoFlora Project one of the major EcoFlora projects working to streamline the teaching of iNaturalist. Also wrote a book on aquatic butterfly gardens and have made floating wetlands for several uses.

I have several cool community and college level classroom approaches to iNaturalist if anyone wants support. Follow the newsletter on my Stocking Savvy website if you are interested in events such as the Florida native plant society hike in November. My time is limited so I suggest emailing me at stockingsavvy@gmail.com or visiting Sarasota where I am based from. Florida has a current bad reputation for… a lot. However it is rapidly improving despite what the news says and Sarasota is undergoing a renaissance of environmental work.

If you have support for Florida wetlands work I am always open to it be it resources, funding, land, etc. If I can help with the above let me know. Otherwise I promise I got weirder stuff than you on my iNaturalist Sean_Patton including at least 3 species new to science.

That’s it looking forward to meeting some of you!

Hello everyone!

I just got my official welcome to the Ambassador program!

I am a biologist based in Monterrey, Mexico (se habla español, if needed). I have been around on iNaturalist since 2013, and I am an avid fan to say the least. I have been working with others in Mexico to help new users engage since 2015 as part of Mexico’s Tutoring program (now in standby), and I am now thrilled to be part of this new initiative.
If anyone is traveling near my city, do not hesitate to send a message.
Saludos!
