NatureShare is a community website for people who love the outdoors. Registered members can collect and post their wildlife sightings and share them with other nature enthusiasts.[1][2] Originally created by NatureShare/Green Mountain Digital, the NatureShare website has been owned and operated by the National Audubon Society since May 2015. The majority of NatureShare users post to and access the site via one of the National Audubon Society's Audubon Guides ‘Birds’ mobile apps, available for free for iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire.[2]
