Get Ready! Nature Challenge starts FRIDAY

Hi everyone,

The annual City Nature Challenge is getting ready to start and we need your help! Between Friday, April 26 and Monday, April 29, we need you to help us find as many species as possible using iNaturalist. All iNaturalist observations from Bristol, Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Norton, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, and Wise counties will automatically be counted towards the Challenge.

I’ve tagged you in this post because you are a top observer in Southwest Virginia. It is top iNat observers like you that will really help push us ahead in number of observations made and species recorded in Virginia.

The City Nature Challenge is an international effort for people to find and document what lives in communities across the globe. There are over 650 locations participating this year so it will be great to see what everyone finds!

You can find our City Nature Challenge: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2024-southwest-virginia

For more information and for a list of events happening across Virginia and locally during this challenge, please visit our website at www.nature.org/CityNatureVa. Make observations on your own, or join us for a hike!

Let me know if you have any questions. Spread the word!
