It’s time to begin planning for the 2026 City Nature Challenge ABQ at the end of April!

Would you and/or your organization like to get involved as a City Nature Challenge ABQ partner this year?

As a partner, we ask that you support City Nature Challenge by communicating with us via email and attending partner meetings, spreading the word, educating people on how to take part, participating in the challenge, identifying observations, and optionally hosting an event(s), forming a team, getting a class or group to join in, etc.

To sign up as a partner and get added to the partner email list for further communication, fill out our 2026 Partner Form.

CNC ABQ Partner Zoom meetings will be held:

February 17, 3:00-4:30 pm

April 8, 3:00-4:30 pm

City Nature Challenge Information

Whether or not you want to be a partner, participate with us in Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Valencia counties so we can have a strong showing of wildlife observations and species in the biggest community science event in the world! If you’re in the Santa Fe or Silver City area, they have been doing their own City Nature Challenge projects as well!

City Nature Challenge 2025 Dates: **Save the dates!

Observation Period: April 24 – April 27, 2026
