Join the Greensboro Science Center in the City Nature Challenge 2024 to see which city/region can document the most species from April 26-29! It’s easy to participate by making observations using the free iNaturalist app. Using the app, take a picture of a plant or animal in your backyard, local park or wild area, submit it, and the community will help identify the species and support science. You can also help with IDs for other people’s observations to increase our species count! All observations made in Guilford County will be counted during the four-day challenge.
