If you do Environmental Impact Assessment in Canada, NatureCounts is a free tool that should be in your toolbox! Birds Canada’s open data platform houses over 250 million bird records from across Canada. Those data are freely and easily available, and a perfect complement to traditional on-the-ground surveys.
In this webinar, we will provide an introduction to NatureCounts, and an overview of where the data come from and how they can be freely accessed. We’ll cover how to query for data specific to your site, how to cite NatureCounts in your reports, and what resources are available to help you make the most of the platform.
If you’re completing Impact Assessment without NatureCounts, you may only be seeing half the picture. Join us to see how open data can change the game for IA.
Note: This webinar will also be offered on April 10 at 1:00pm ET.
