What is the City Nature Challenge?
We are surrounded by nature in our neighborhoods, parks, and even in our downtowns. Between April 26 and April 29, cities around the world are competing to document their urban nature with the iNaturalist app in the City Nature Challenge 2019. Showcase our rich local biodiversity, win prizes, and compete for the Wasatch Team in this international citizen science quest.
