With NPS support, NatureServe formed a team including 4 college- level interns to create a mobile experience for the Explore Natural Communities website. With a mobile device (cell phone, tablet, iPad, etc.) and an internet connection, all users can access a map of the park and track their location along trails, query the map for information about nearby natural communities, use pictures of plants and animals that help form the natural communities to learn to recognize them in the field, enjoy prebuilt hikes, listen to podcasts, and watch videos all focused on the natural history and natural communities of Rock Creek Park. Check it out on your mobile device at: http://explorenaturalcommunities.org/parks-places/rock-creek-park/ mobile-map.
