APRIL 24-27, 2026
The City Nature Challenge is a four-day friendly nature competition that goes on across the globe April 24 to April 27, 2026. It is the largest annual bioblitz in the world!
We are competing against 800+ other cities!
The goal is to see which city can show the most wildlife in their area, including wild plants, animals, insects, mushrooms, fish, turtles — everything! Let’s show off Baton Rouge’s amazing wildlife diversity and unique ecosystems.

TAKING PART IS EASY!
Find wildlife. It could be a bird, insect, plant or any other sign of life.
Take a picture. Snap a photo of what you find with your smart phone or digital camera.
Share! Upload your observations to iNaturalist with the mobile app or at iNaturalist.org.
--
Photos mush be taken April 24-27. However, you have until May 8 to finish uploading them into iNaturalist. Any observations made anywhere in Southeast Louisiana during the official event period will automatically count toward the challenge.
Observations must be of wild organisms. No pets, people or landscaping plants, please. It's for science!
