Join the team and compete in this year's City Nature Challenge! This annual global bioblitz brings cities and regions together to collaborate and compete to catalog as many wildlife species as possible. Hike the Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve as we observe, catch, and catalog species of plants and wildlife. Then head out to identify and log findings on your own! This is a great opportunity to strengthen your ID skills and participate in a great citizen science initiative.
All catalogs are logged to the City Nature Challenge 2026: Northern Ohio project on iNaturalist @ https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2026-northern-ohio
Anyone can participate in the city nature challenge! The dates are April 24th-27th and all you need to do is upload your observations to the iNaturalist project mentioned above. More information can be found @ https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/
