ABOUT PARTICIPATION All you need to do is visit as many Explorer Corps markers as you wish. Your phone’s GPS will verify your stop to collect your stamp and assign it to your profile. There is no purchase necessary to collect passport stamps. • You need an email address to use the Explorer Corps app, but there is no age limit to participation. • People in the same household can collect stamps by visiting marker locations if they have their own app accounts. • Participation runs from the Friday before Memorial Day weekend through 11:59pm on Labor Day each year.

Point your camera at anything alive and find out what it is. Animals, birds, plants, trees, insects, mushrooms, and your own pets, right down to the breed. WildEcho identifies by sound as well as by sight, so the bird you can hear but never see is no longer a mystery. WHAT IT IDENTIFIES • Animals, wild and domestic, from foxes and frogs to your dog's exact breed • Birds, by photo or by their call • Plants and trees, including the cultivar and whether it is native or introduced • Flowers, with the season they bloom • Insects and spiders, including the look-alikes that are easy to confuse • Mushrooms and fungi, with the known toxicity and the dangerous species they resemble THREE WAYS TO IDENTIFY • Photograph it, point your camera and get an instant answer • Record it, capture a short clip and WildEcho names the species from its call • Describe it, type what you heard ("high whistle at night") and get the most likely match KNOW MORE THAN A NAME Every identification comes with habitat, range, size, conservation status and a fact worth repeating. Plants add bloom season and known toxicity. Animals add their sound and whether they are active by day or night. Your free identifications are complete ones. We limit how many you get, never how good they are. HONEST WHEN IT IS UNSURE A confident result says Match Found. A less certain one says Likely Match or Best Guess, and lists the species it could be confused with. You will always know how much to trust the answer. NEVER A FORAGING GUIDE WildEcho will never tell you a plant or mushroom is safe to eat. It names what it sees and describes known harm, and it stops there. Deadly species closely resemble common edible ones, and no app should be the thing standing between you and that mistake. BUILD YOUR FIELD JOURNAL Every find is saved to your species library. Level up from Egg to Echo Master, earn badges and keep a streak going, all included, no subscription needed. TRIP GUIDE Name a trip, log everything you discover along the way, then share a report of the whole outing. TRY IT FREE Start identifying with no account and no card. Pro adds unlimited identifications, a live species list for wherever you are and whatever the season, and profiles for all of your pets. Whether you are a curious backyard listener, a camper, a hiker, a gardener or a budding naturalist, WildEcho turns "what was that?" into "I know exactly what that is." AI-assisted identification for learning and enjoyment, not a substitute for expert guidance on dangerous or protected species.
