About the project
A field guide that teaches.
Nature by Name helps naturalists remember the wildlife they want to recognize.
Why it exists
Field guides and observation apps help in the moment. Nature by Name fills the gap between encounters: it gives you short recall sessions that make names easier to retrieve outdoors.
How it is run
Nature by Name is a free, non-commercial project built in Canada. It has no ads, paywalls, streaks, or paid learning advantages.
Sources and AI
Wildlife records, photos, sounds, and scientific claims stay connected to their sources. Explicit rules select Study media. AI does not score wildlife media or write identification guidance.
Keeping it useful
The project prioritizes learning records, reliable scheduling, core media, backups, and a future export path. See Methodology for the detailed rules or Support for help.
