Welcome Academy Naturalists! Heads up: City Nature Challenge begins Friday!
Welcome, Academy Naturalists! We are excited for this group to launch on Friday!
It's no coincidence that Friday also marks the start of the 2021 City Nature Challenge!
The CNC is a friendly global competition where residents of more than 300 cities compete to see who can record the most wildlife. From April 30 to May 3, we’ll be documenting the plants, animals and fungi in Philadelphia and surrounding counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Identification phase runs from May 4 to May 9 before results are announced on May 10.
Participation is easy: Any observation on iNaturalist, geotagged from anywhere in the designated area (Philadelphia, Bucks, Delaware and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania, and Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties in New Jersey), and time-stamped during the four days of the event, will count towards Philadelphia’s tally!
