Join your friends and neighbors in documenting local plants and animals during the 2022 City Nature Challenge! This year, organizations across the region invite you to get outdoors and explore the world just outside of your backyard. Through an easy, online/phone application, you'll learn about the plants and animals around you, all while contributing to a growing body of urban habitat science. The City Nature Challenge is a community science bioblitz with the goal of observing and identifying as many species as possible in urban communities. Participants from more than 450 cities worldwide will contribute and so can you!Started in 2016 as a competition between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the City Nature Challenge (CNC) has grown into an international event, motivating people around the world to find and document wildlife in their cities. Run by the Community Science teams at the California Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the CNC is an annual four-day global bioblitz at the end of April, where cities are in a collaboration-meets-friendly-competition to see not only what can be accomplished when we all work toward a common goal, but also which city can gather the most observations of nature, find the most species, and engage the most people in the event.
