Wildlife refuge on island of Sanibel, Florida, introduces iNature Trail for smartphone users
The J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge has introduced a new interactive smartphone capability for visitors. Called iNature Trail, the program utilizes QR (Quick Response) codes that are located around the refuge, which can be scanned by your smartphone using free downloadable applications like Neoscan and QR Scan. Once scanned, the codes will bring up YouTube videos and other informative resources for an enhanced experience in nature. For example, scanning a particular code could bring up a video of the refuge manager welcoming guests to the area, while another might teach users how to plant a mangrove tree.
According to Supervisory Refuge Ranger Toni Westland, out of the more than 550 national wildlife refuges, J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge is the first to put in place an interactive trail program like this one.
