Look at how it has grown! I'll be providing findings from Louisville, Lexington and Frankfort over the next few days as I examine the Excel Spreadsheet I was sent . Stay tuned!

Go here if you want to scroll through photos of the nearly 2600 Endangered and Threatened species found in cities from around the world. This shows us that CITIES DO HARBOR RARE, ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES and Conservation in Cities should be an important concern for local authorities and citizens.
8000 people observed 2600 RARE, ENDANGERED OR THREATENED species IN CITIES. MANY ARE BIRDS. You should see all the AFRICAN PENGUINS!
Also, a reminder that City Nature Challenge Louisville Metro as its own Facebook page. I will be posting visuals there- I cannot do that here. You can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091257433696
CNC-Louisville Metro 2023 is also on Instagram. Just use that title to find it.
I will be posting other Louisville highlights here over the next week. And on our Facebook page.
Hope you had fun even if the weather was blustery and cool during the Bioblitz.
Enjoy the spring!
