Stop by to learn from Ranger Eric about some free smartphone apps you can use to identify any living organism on the planet, while also increasing our knowledge of where they live. If you are wanting to participate in the April 26-29 City Nature Challenge, we will have information to get you started! We invite you to come out as a park citizen scientist for this international effort that encourages all everyone to find and document plants and wildlife on iNaturalist in cities across the globe. This bioblitz-style competition challenges local communities to make the most observations in nature during this 4-day period, and then this data is available for science, management, and conservation. So this April 26-29, connect with your open spaces, your community, and other global naturalist using only your phone or camera to record nature wherever you go! For more info, check out the following link: www.citynaturechallenge.org.

*If you would like to learn how to document via iNaturalist, please download the free app at home and register with a username prior to arrival, as cell coverage can be spotty out in the park.

MEETING LOCATION: Nature Center

No registration required. Just stop by the Nature Center between 11:00am-1:00pm!
