Don't forget to also like our Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/stlcitynaturechallenge)The St. Louis region* is gearing up to compete in the City Nature Challenge for the sixth year and we need your participation! The City Nature Challenge (CNC) is a four-day bioblitz-style competition between 300+ cities across the globe to gather observations of nature. Run by the California Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, the CNC offers a platform for people to engage in community science by finding and documenting local wildlife. Cities will compete to collect the most observations of nature, document the most species, and engage the most people during the 4-day event. Let’s do this, St. Louis!
Participation is easy:
1. Download the FREE iNaturalist app. Visit http://www.citynaturechallenge.org/ or find the app in the Google Play or Apple App stores.
2. Take photos of plants, animals, insects, and other life forms between April 26th and April 29th. You can do this anywhere across the bi-state region. This is a great chance to visit a natural space you’ve been waiting to explore!
3. Upload your images as observations on the greater St. Louis region’s iNaturalist page. That’s it - you’ve helped grow the region’s urban biodiversity inventory with your photos! And, you’ve had fun along the way!
