Club Launches iNaturalist Project for Members to Share and Learn
Essex County Field Naturalists’ Club members now have a new way to connect and share sightings. The club has started a project on iNaturalist, one of the world’s most popular apps for identifying plants and animals, as well as sharing information as citizen scientists.

DRCC PAC update
The Public Advisory Council (PAC) of the Detroit River Canadian Cleanup (DRCC; detroitriver.ca) is an independent branch of the DRCC representing the public. Volunteers and environment groups including the ECFNC, Little River Enhancement Group, Citizens Environment Alliance and others have held membership since we started in 2004. Meetings are open to the public and scheduled when issues arise.
