âIâve learned so much just listening to them (DLiA staff) that it has really been very educational and very interesting for me personally,â said TVA program manager Melinda Watson.
On the south side of Guntersville dam, participants will work in small groups to survey the Cave Mountain Trail from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Then, they will post photos of the organisms they have found to the community science platform iNaturalist, building a list of area species that can be viewed and contributed to later.
No experience is necessary to attend. Participants should download the free iNaturalist app onto their phone or smart device in advance of the event and dress appropriately for the outdoors.

Community for common goals
“The action group is not about funding; it is about connecting the community to achieve common goals,” president Laura Baker said.
“We know there are so many great organisations in Euroa; our role is to be a community connector between organisations so that we can maximise impact in the community.”
After returning to hometown Euroa during the global pandemic in 2020, Ms Baker continued to work remotely for Local Government in metropolitan Melbourne.
With a desire to help strengthen the Euroa community and a career skillset in Local Government, Ms Baker’s interest in ECAG was piqued when a friend encouraged her to attend its AGM in April.
With many restaurants and other businesses saying they can't find workers to fill jobs, at least three bills active in the state Legislature would end a pandemic-related moratorium on the requirement that people getting unemployment compensation prove they are looking for work.
