"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~Margaret Mead
If you seek out opportunities to become involved in conservation or think you may just want to learn how to identify invasive or threatened species so you can sound utterly brilliant at your next Christmas party, you've come to the right place.
Naturedigger apps have everything our users want and need. We offer identification of invasive plants and animals including knotweed, milfoil, zebra mussels and dreaded lionfish, as well as threatened species such as monarch butterflies and horseshoe crabs. If you want to go a step further and become a hard core naturalist, check out opportunities to get more involved in conservation efforts by downloading our SOS app series.
We offer tons of high res photos in each app along with complete descriptions to help with identification, and if you feel like committing to a cause, we offer easy-to-use reporting forms to keep things simple. We are aligned with nonprofit organizations, universities and state and federal agencies who collect scientific data using the public's talent, knowledge of their region, and the thing most scientists lack, time. Organizations appreciate and value the commitment of "citizen scientists" (which we hope you will become!), who can cover vast areas due to their large numbers and provide a more detailed accounting of what is happening in a habitat or with a species over extended periods of time. This data is critical for making better informed conservation and management decisions about a species in peril or an invasive species.
Remember...YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A SCIENTIST TO COLLECT SCIENTIFIC DATA!
Does this sound like you? If so, go to the App Store and download our apps. They're free and we never include in-app purchase options. In other words, they're actually... free. If you really like them, and you feel like your IQ has increased by at least 10-20 points, then please support us!
Also check out our blog for recent app updates and to see what cool fieldwork we're doing during the season.

This is what people are saying about our apps:
Rash Plants- "It's about time. What an awesome app! "Great. Best app ever!" "Awesome. This is an amazing app! Definitely useful" "I highly recommend Rash Plants. It's an indispensable guide to the identification and understanding of poison ivy, oak and sumac. I'm happy that this reference is available in such an accessible way." "This is the app for poison ivy, oak and sumac. Detailed descriptions of the plants, where to find them, the rash, and remedies for it. It also has information on look-alike plants and how to tell the difference. TONS of pictures, and a quiz to see how good you are at spotting the plants." Very helpful! "The pictures of the plants in all stages of growth and at all seasons are quite detailed and well annotated. Useful to take into the field. The section on remedies is also helpful." Worth your time "Easy to navigate app with a lot of useful information on identification, rashes and treatment." This is "Must Have" App "This is a must have app for anyone who spends a lot of time either out in the woods, out on a trail, or just in the backyard clearing brush. My boys and I are in scouts. This will no doubt be a helpful app for all of us." Monarch SOS- "Love this app! I'm so thrilled I can now do my data sheets for Southwest Monarch Study and upload photos and weather data all in one place!" Excellent! Wonderful app. Great tool for information." "What a great all around app for monarchs!" Coastal SOS- Love this app! Living in the Florida Keys and becoming a "citizen scientist" has really increased my love for and understanding of sea life ten fold. I find myself looking at this app every day to see what's new and how I can help to preserve this beautiful ocean and reef. Thank you for bringing this information." |
