 Hi everyone, my name is Nick Kanag, I am a member of the Kentucky Native Plants Society and undergraduate at EKU. We're on Eastern Kentucky University's campus right now in one of our wetland areas but I'm just going to show you all how to use iNactlis which is a really great app for plant identification. So if you have an Android or iPhone you can download it and it also has a desktop function but it has a white background with a green bird on it. You can use it for more than just plants you can also use it for mushrooms or birds or salamanders, any living organism but just before running never use this for like anything you want to eat or consume because any plant can be poisonous without an expert's decision but once you open it it looks like this so first you want to create a profile then you can collect observations it's called so to observe a plant you can either take a picture before when you're in the field or you can use the app itself so you can click the middle function called observe and then what you can do we can come up to this nice purple plant real quick we take our picture like this and then you press next after that iNactlis asks a few questions it says the locality so sometimes if you're using an iPhone or Android it has the location already synced in but then it says what do you see so this is one of my favorite functions about iNactlis it can gives you a guess about what the species is so this one is the tall ironweed which is Vernonia Gigantia and it actually tells you as its first top 10 species suggestions so then you can click this then you press share once you do that then it goes up into the internet and other people can confirm your identification which is a really cool tool one of other function about iNactlis is you can get involved with other projects around the state or the nation or the world also so the Kentucky Native Plant Society specifically has the botanist big year so if you go to the more press projects then you can see what projects that you're in so if you want to go to the bot Kentucky Botanist big year 2020 you can then see the observations of plants in the state and the Kentucky Native Plant Society has a really awesome initiative this year so if you observe the most or you ID the most plants then you'll get a Kentucky Native Plant Society coffee mug so I hope you all consider downloading that it's really useful tool and also people in research can use it so with you doing this you're being a citizen scientist which is an awesome opportunity for everyone hope you have a fun time botanizing thanks
