Good in theory but other platforms and resources exists, as already said in this thread “iNaturalist does not need to be all things to all people”. Adding this functionality to iNat isn’t a necessity. One can learn how to research and find sites on their own. Maybe instead of adding additional functionality there could be a section in the iNat FAQ or tutorial that outlines ways to find public places or links to more local resources by region.
if you personally are looking for help exploring your surroundings, I have a reply on another forum post titled " Best ways to find areas to explore", that might be helpful.
