Upload your photos of wild nature to iNaturalist by May 10 for the City Nature Challenge

[Ana Ka'ahanui]

Hi All - 

If you took any photos of wild nature or evidence of wild nature (feathers, nests, bones, scat, etc.) in the DC metro area between April 24-27, please upload them to iNaturalist by May 10, preferably earlier so they can be identified. More about participation is available here.

Currently, we are ranked in the top 10 in all 4 categories out of 784 cities in 62 countries. Global results will be announced on May 13.

Join the CNC iNaturalist project. (You don't have to join for your observations to count. We'd like to capture an accurate account of participation.)
