City Nature Challenge 2024: Providence Area's Journal

We had an incredible event this year.

These are the stats for the last 2 years
2023----2024
1,888----2,825----OBSERVATIONS
--605-----771---- SPECIES
--318------276----IDENTIFIERS
--233-----196-----OBSERVERS

We had far more observations with fewer observers. (I have retired from teaching so that is 100 students who were not making observations this year) This is excellent participation. I hope everyone had a good experience and had fun cataloging our native flora and fauna. Good job pat yourself on the back.

Here is the request part of the announcement. I will be running the 2025 City Nature Challenge for the Providence area so I look forward to seeing you all again next year. If you are associated with any group or organization that would be able to help me promote the challenge I would like to hear from you. I am pretty good at the technical side of this project but I need partners to help me with promotion.

You can contact me by sending me an email at JimRusconi@gmail.com or you can reply to this message.

Thanks for a great year and I look forward to seeing you again next year.

We have lots of observations and a lot of different kinds of organisms. Little Rhody is punching above its weight class as usual! Be sure to tell your friends. We have until Midnight Monday to make our observations for the 2024 Providence Area City Nature Challenge

You do not need to join the City Nature Challenge to have your observations count. Any observations made in southeastern Mass and the State of Rhode Island will count

It is day one of the City Nature Challenge

We are now getting to crunch time.
