City Nature Challenge

The iNaturalist City Nature Challenge is coming up in two weeks! (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2022) It takes place April 29-May 2 and cities compete against one another to see who can make the most observations of the most species and with the most participants. Any observation made on those days within the boundaries of one of the "cities" counts toward the project, unlike the Personal Bioblitz, you do not need to add it by hand.

I will be helping New York (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2022-new-york-city) and Philly (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2022-greater-philadelphia-area). If you are in the New Jersey area, I am hosting three "meet-ups" where folks gather at an interesting park and then go around looking for observations and sharing interesting finds for an hour or two.

Saturday, April 30 at 10 am at Conference House Park, 243 Satterlee St. Staten Island, NY
Sunday, May 1 at 10 am at Whitesbog Historic Village, 120 West Whites Bog Rd., Browns Mills, NJ (Burlington Co.)
Monday, May 2 at 9 am at Giving Pond, 1068 River Rd., Upper Black Eddy, PA (Bucks Co.)

If you can make any of them, I would love to have you. At any rate, I hope you can find a city near you to observe in over the weekend, or can help in the following week to ID others' observations.
