City Nature Challenge 2023

Get ready for NYC's 7th City Nature Challenge! Will you help us show off our city's biodiversity? In both the paved and green spaces of our city, many species survive and thrive. We're asking all New Yorkers - residents, visitors, commuters, students, teachers, pedestrians, park lovers, parents, children, EVERYONE - to connect with nature and help us make as many iNaturalist observations as we can. The City Nature Challenge observation period is this weekend, from Friday April 28 to Monday May 1! There are a ton of exciting events scheduled throughout the weekend - use our handy guide to find one near you. If you can't make it to an event, any observations made within the city during this weekend will count towards our goal!

#CNCNYC is also hosting a "Battle of the Boroughs". Last year, the Bronx came out on top with the most observations - will another borough overtake them this year?
