Consequently, Both the City of Toronto and participants of the Seeds to Sapling project need a way to trace the origin of seeds used to grow saplings.

iNaturalist is a mobile application that allows its users to identify plants and animals, and record their location in what is called an “observation”. These observations can then be tracked with your smartphone’s built-in GPS system.
