Your community (discussion and events)

Every project on The Conservation Hub has a community portal where project members can make posts, engage with other posts, and RSVP for upcoming project events.

1. First log into the app and select a group.
2. Then, in the left sidebar, press Community
3. Select the project discussion thread or events you would like to view.

The discussion page

The discussion page is where users with access to the project can create discussion threads to discuss anything related to the project. Users can also add a photo to their discussion thread post, and other users can reply or like their post.
