City Nature Challenge

The City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document plants and wildlife in cities across the globe. Join this bioblitz-style competition where cities compete against each other to see who can make the most nature observations, who can find the most species, and who can engage the most people.

To participate, download the iNaturalist app (https://www.inaturalist.org). Then, join the City Nature Challenge events going on throughout Great Parks and Cincinnati Parks!
