The Cass Field Station near the tiny settlement of Cass, New Zealand, is situated on 1775 ha of high country land and has been operated by the University of Canterbury for research and education purposes since 1914. For decades students have taken part in an annual field trip at the Field Station, where they learn about local botany and ecology. In January 2024 a Wikipedian will be accompanying this group—very likely the world's first-ever Wikipedian in Residence on a biology field trip. As well as enriching Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons content about the history and botany of the area, I will be teaching students how to upload photos to WikiCommons and iNaturalist under an open licence.
