Tree Observations/ Identification
When taking photos to identify trees on iNaturalist, here are a few tips:
• Focused pictures that are well-lit
• Multiple photos of various parts of the tree like leaves, flowers, fruit, bark, branching pattern
• Picture of the whole tree (if possible)
It also helps to learn what trees are common in your area. The Upper Thames River watershed sits on the transition zone between the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Forest region and the Carolinian Forest region. Each of the four forest regions in Ontario has specific ecosystem characteristics that determine dominant tree species and animals.
