Hello everyone!!

The City Nature Challenge is only 3 Days, 9 hours, and 25 minutes away! We are competing against 150 cities/counties around the world and we need everyone’s help to make it to #1!

Cities around the world are hard at work preparing for the challenge and I am happy to report that we have around 20 public events to join around the county as well as many Natural History Staff, volunteers, and scientists heading out into the field.

If you would like to join an even you can find more info here:
https://www.sdnhm.org/calendar/the-2019-city-nature-challenge/city-nature-challenge-events/

An important update and change from last year is that all observations and species will count for our city, including “Needs ID” and “Casual” ones! This is amazing and a huge plus!

If you are identifiying or see anything in the project that is captive/cultivated please mark it as such!

We have until May 6th by 9am to identify.

If you know any users on iNat that would like to join the Challenge please tag them or let me know and I can reach out.

If you have any questions please feel free to message me.

Go San Diego!!!
