Field notes become public chapters.

V1 keeps contribution simple: gather useful observations, ecological art, and research references without pretending the admin or database layer is finished.

Observations

Submit seasonal sightings, habitat notes, and field sketches from local chapters.

Ecological art

Publish drawings, short films, sound works, and visual essays tied to routes.

Research notes

Link species records, references, uncertainty, and council-reviewed evidence.

Chapter hosting

Organize walks, workshops, public map sessions, and nonprofit partnerships in your region.

Field-note onboarding

Keep the first contribution loop human and reviewable.

Before accounts, dashboards, and moderation queues, the site explains how a contribution becomes trustworthy public material.

01

Capture

Record an observation, sketch, sound, photo, route memory, or source link.

02

Context

Add season, location, uncertainty, and whether the note is public or chapter-only.

03

Review

Council editors prepare the note for route pages, exhibitions, or open archives.

Nonprofit contribution pledge.

We mark uncertainty, credit contributors, and separate public education from scientific claims that still need review.
