If you’re planning to spend some time in nature this summer, you might not want to entirely unplug. We’ll discuss apps that can help us explore the great outdoors, from backyard birds and plants, to weather forecasts before setting out for a picnic in the park, to compass directions and markers when going on a hike.
RSVP for Tech Together Online: Tech in the Wild or leave a voicemail at 415-694-7618. Online registration is preferred.
