QUESTIONS ABOUT iNATURALIST?
Create an iNaturalist account and join our project at: https://tinyurl.com/ABQcityNature
All observations made in iNaturalist in Bernalillo County during April 26-29 will count toward our total. It is not necessary to join the project or add observations to the project.
Why can't I add my observation to CNC ABQ project from the app (since there's a field in the app that says "Project")? It's a quirk of the app, but rest assured that ALL the observations made within Bernalillo County during April 26-29 will make it into the project--usually within 5-15 minutes, if not sooner. If you join the CNC ABQ project, you can see a notification on your observations (when looking at them via the website) that shows it's part of the project.
If you have an iNaturalist question, you can email help@inaturalist.org. The CNC iNaturalist forum has a useful FAQ section: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/frequently-asked-questions-city-nature-challenge/2337.
