The City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities. It’s an annual four-day global bioblitz at the end of April, where cities collaborate to see what can be accomplished when we all work toward a common goal. By participating in the City Nature Challenge, not only do you learn more about your local nature, but you can also make your city a better place – for you and other species! See the CNC website for participating cities / regions and information on how to participate.
